Some days, the words you hear can warm your heart and make it all worthwhile… ♥

“Do you have any animal books?  I think I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up...” (young girl researching her future early & leaving with a dozen assorted critter books!)

Me (scooting a group of computer users out at closing time): “Does anybody want to check out books before you leave?”

Young boy: “Yeah, but I didn’t bring any money.”

Me: “You don’t need money… you can take home library books for FREE!” 😉

Boy (looking at me like I am Out of My Mind) : “Are you SERIOUS?!!!”

Me: ” Yes– Check ’em out; take ’em home; read ’em; then bring ’em back and get some more!”

Boy: “ALRIGHT!!!  Where are the basketball books?!!!! 🙂 “

And, the smiling nine-year-old lad who walked in last Saturday (he lived here five years ago & was in town visiting family)… six inches taller that when we last spoke, he stopped in front of my desk: “I sure miss coming to this library….”  ♥
