So I actually inherited all of my grandmas books last year which means I have two full walls of book shelves filled to the top with books in my living room and well as fully stocked book shelves in my bedroom. So I have any own little library in my house which is pretty amazing!

What I love about my library is its diversity. There's a book of every genre lol.
People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

I'm so lucky that the New York Public Library (the super famous one on 42nd street with the lions out front) is the closest library for me! Not only is it a beautiful building, but the vast resources of the whole network (plus the audiobook and e-book app) means there's very rarely a resource I can't find.

One of my favorite things about my personal library is getting to rearrange it whenever I buy new books. Because I buy a lot of books, this happens often! I find this to be such a relaxing There are so many ways to make bookshelves beautiful and I love trying new things. Currently I have one bookshelf sorted by color, forming a rainbow along the color spectrum. On another of my shelves, each individual row of books represents a different genre. I also have figurines of characters placed along my shelves, for example a Funko Pop figure of Newt Scamander with the Harry Potter books and a tiny Bilbo Baggins figurine with The Hobbit. :D

As much as I love my local library, I love my own personal supply more. I'm addicted to collecting my own books, and having them at the tips of my fingers provides a kind of power.

Just being in a library is what I love about it. When you enter a library, it's like you've been shut out from the rest of the world and you can choose to let your fantasies and imagination run wild. I can spend hours in the library!

I love the feeling of being in a library. I had this habit since my childhood and there is a nice cafe inside the library which I live to visit.

I have library cards for three different libraries. One I have to pay $25/yr and that is my favorite. New Braunfels Public Library. Every time I walk in I want to shout YES! Such a wonderful feeling comes over me. I also love the free openlibrary.org for old books that are just not available anywhere.

I like the library atmosphere. The place where you go for reading. You do not searching the net, think about work and family problem. Also I feel like even when the world ends, our prosperity will have some knowledge from a real books.

The fact that I can listen to an audiobook when I'm feeling like it.

This includes ebooks and audiobooks that I'm able to get from multiple online libraries. So, I can pretty much get access to any book that I want to read!
Wow. Thats really cool.

8) I just recently signed up for my Kindle unlimited subscription. And I have to say ... the variety of choices I have at my fingertips is so vast... I know I could spend an entire lifetime reading and still not be able to complete them all ... That is so exciting! I love it!
