I work in a public library and I'm so glad to hear of people using the library and reading books - not just using the internet! Working at the library was a natural choice for me since I've always loved books and reading. When I'm depressed I love escaping into a book (usually a romance) for the whole day. I know when I'm really, really depressed because then I don't want to read at all. It's a little frustrating seeing all the books here (I check this site when I'm bored at work) and know I don't have time to read everything I would like. I've managed to keep it under control, but still have stacks of books at home, and running out of room. (Thankfully I don't get fines since I'm an employee.) My boyfriend says when I'm an old woman they'll find me buried under stacks of magazines and books! I read every spare moment and would rather do that than anything. Lately I've been reading magazines (has to be cover to cover the whole thing), art history (my major), social histories, a few novels and of course about depression and what to do about it. So glad I'm not the only one who loves books.
the Little Prince is shelved in Youth Services but I think it's a great book for all ages.
