I Can Relate

 A friend sent me this yesterday--I don't know where she found it. I nodded along as I read--I can relate. I bet those of you who are also book lovers can relate, too. 😃

All true for me too. I was so bookish as a kid that it 'worried the adults' but I am grateful that it protected me from some of their attitudes and helped me see a broader world full of better things/ideas. Reading is so helpful to self-development and values formation etc. Like the "Mixed-up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankwiler" book seemed like a fine idea. Go live in a place full of stories and history and that's as much of a library as it is a museum. I used to wonder which library I could literally live-in but the Seattle Public Library downtown didn't have much fodder for the imagination when it came to survival lol. (I'd go and check out 15 books every 2-3 days by monorail when I was in grade school until I had pretty much read the K-12 section through and was in the college section by the time we moved away.) Reading is such a beautiful gift - it opens up the world, even when the stories may be difficult, they're usually pretty relatable.

It's been weird to be without library access during these pandemic months!
