What to pick???? <br /><br />I've loved the library all my life, but yet, still have a lovely library of my own!! I so totally relate to the feeling of care for a book once it's come home!! Especially the dear old ones! They so need a nice home that appreciates where they've been! :)<br /><br />I went through a minimizing sweep earlier this year and when it came to the books I just left them alone. :)<br /><br />I'm with everyone on the Julia Childs book!! If that is your special purchase I hope you will share what you are cooking!! :)~ Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703471625303036611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-79402727192359197782011-10-26T11:47:52.594-05:002011-10-26T11:47:52.594-05:00I absolutely love libraries but unfortunately, the...I absolutely love libraries but unfortunately, the library near us is very small (with a limited selection) and has odd hours. Of course, all this is due to lack of funding which is so sad. My son and I still (each) have library cards though. <br /><br />I also hope you post about your culinary adventures with Julia Child. :)Briahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761498491251485444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-19331676685859339922011-10-26T11:17:53.103-05:002011-10-26T11:17:53.103-05:00Oh, I do enjoy a good natter about books!
