30+ Days of Giving Thanks, Day 58: the Library

Today I want to express my thanks for my local library, the Josephine-Louise Public Library, and the library system it belongs to, the Ramapo-Catskill Library System. When I want a book to read, or a recorded book to listen to, I can log on from home, reserve or request the material that I want, and, when my requested material arrives, I get an e-mail and/or a telephone call informing me that I can come in to the library and check out my materials.

If I find myself looking for a movie or a music selection, or even if I just want a place to “kill” some time, I can duck into a library—my home library or another one in the RCLS, and lose myself looking through the stacks and shelves.

I have always loved the library—whether the elementary school library in Afton Central School, then the High School library, the Afton Village Library, or any of the libraries I have held cards from over all these years. Thank You, Heavenly Father, for my library! Thank You also for the wonderful people who staff libraries everywhere!
