Any day is a good day to stop by the library. Yesterday it was raining and a rainy day is a perfect day to stop by the library, and so I did. Libraries haven't changed a whole lot over the years. When I first walk inside, I usually see a little white headed lady at the desk and I expect that acknowledgement of I see you, and you better speak in a whisper. Sure they have added computers to help you locate books and now have a section with well-used and out-dated movie's you can take home with you. I say, do so at your own risk, and be ready for disappointment, for most of them have been damaged. You'll find movies like Shadow of the Thin Man, Forbidden Planet, or the Asphalt Jungle with Marilyn Monroe. Maybe they're worth taking a chance on. At our library they have a small room full of used books for sale. "Friend's Of The Library" donate books to help support library projects, such as reading programs for young children, or "Film Night At the Library." This has become a favorite part of the library for me. I like bargain children's books and on occasion I can find, in like new condition, a book by a New York Times bestselling author. Yesterday, I found "The Last Promise, by Richard Paul Evans. The book looks brand spanking new and even has a few words of sentiment written inside....Evelyn....Merry Christmas...Lots of Love, Mom and Dad. I'm glad Evelyn decided to pass this book on to the "Friends of the Library." So, I'll be reading Mr. Evan's book for the next day or two. In The Last Promise Richard Paul Evans spins a passionate, bittersweet tale about the fantastic joy and great sorrow life can throw our way. In the end, an uplifting, all-too human tale about the magnificent power of true love.
