05-11-09 (library)
Monday May 11, 2009.
Today I went to the school library for the first time since finishing with my MLA, and realized that I had missed it. There’s something fun about going there with a little scrap of paper with call numbers written on it, like a scavenger hunt. All those ideas just sitting and waiting on the shelves. I even like the smell of the library, part linoleum, part musty books…Although part of me loves the idea of electronic books, there is still a stronger part that can’t imagine life without actual paper books. I am grateful for the use of computers to organize/search for those books though! I can’t imagine trying to do research with a card catalogue!
