I hope you have a chance to go back as an adult, so you can have some more fond memories! Hi Derek, I am glad that a fellow Milwaukeen doesn’t take our Central Library for granted.

I have very fond memories of going there with my mom as a kid and spending hours in their superb children's section. As a fellow Milwaukee native, I share your passion for our beautiful library.

Oh well, at least your library is well-stocked.... things could be worse. I do realize how lucky I am. I had a lovely library as a teenager, too. I lived in a small town, and the library was in a very large, cottage style house. Leaded glass windows, fireplaces, beautiful woodwork. Ahhhhhhh. Fond memories. Thanks for dropping in today, litlove. I know you are on a hiatus. I hope all is well. It’s a beaut, isn’t it!? Oh well, at least your library is well-stocked…. things could be worse.

I wish I were as fond of my own library, which is undeniably well-stocked but rather ugly! What a wonderful looking library, and a delightful tribute to it.

I would love it if I could support authors everywhere and buy all, most, some of the books I read, but, alas, this is not the case. I figure libraries have to buy their books, so that is the best I can do for the most part. This is, indeed, a marvelous library. The collections are vast, and I always come home with things I wasn't even looking for. I also have many fond memories of libraries from childhood, so I am glad this sparked a moment of "simple pleasure" for you. Thanks, Pamela. There are many wonderful spots to sink into, in this library. Sometimes I just sit on the floor between the stacks. I am about to leave, at this very moment, for the library. Who knows what treasures I will come home with! Hi Carl. I would love it if I could support authors everywhere and buy all, most, some of the books I read, but, alas, this is not the case.

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:58:16 +0000 http://qugrainne.wordpress.com/?p=366#comment-362 I do so love posts about libraries. This one in particular looks gorgeous. It is so true that we don't often take pleasure in the simple things, at least as much as we should, but I love those moments of clarity when one of the 'simple things' does indeed bring pleasure...and library visits certainly count. I was guilty of not visiting the library at all last year and one of my personal goals for 2008 was to use the library more. I have since went almost every month and have read several library books this year thus far...saving money in the process as well as supporting my local libraries. There is something so special about libraries that, at least for me, give me a sense of nostalgia because of my childhood fondness for them. Thank you so much for posting this, it was a real pleasure to read. I do so love posts about libraries. This one in particular looks gorgeous.
