Library Trip

I went to the library for the first time in three years! The library is one among many of my favorite places. I had stopped going because of the pandemic and just never found the time to go back plus I had accidentally kept a book for two years and just recently got around to paying the fine! I returned the book some time last year:) Ever since getting into reading in 8th grade I have dreamed about working at a library or a bookstore, being surrounded by books sounds just about perfect. In my attempts to get employment at one of out local libraries I have repeatedly struck out. I find that many libraries are not looking for employees rather volunteers or when they are looking for employees they are looking for those with much more education than I possess. That is okay…I will still spend as much time there as possible. And I do…how much time I spent there today alone I have no idea. Time no longer matters to me when I am surrounded by things or people that bring me so much joy. Also I had absolutely no plans today other than the library!

Now as I sit in my car with the windows open, staring at the calm blue lake and soft sandy beach I get to write and dive into one of the books I was able to procure. This is another of my happy places, the beach, the sun, and a cool breeze to accompany me in the exploration of a new world or the endless wandering of my own mind. I always describe the library as a building of many mini portals to endless worlds maybe that is why I like it so much. It holds the many keys to live many lives and have endless discoveries.
