Thanks, Rosemarie. My problem always comes with wanting to reduce the number of books I have on my shelves and still read some of the latest books that I can borrow from the local library. Since the library is only a block or so from my home, I find it hard to resist checking out their shelves.
I used to live a block from a library-it was great. I now live about a 15 minute walk to the library, which means 15 minutes back as well. It's a perfect walk on a nice day.I love libraries!
Rosemarie, I love libraries, too. I wanted to be a librarian, but got talked out of it by my parents. I found a career I liked, but after retiring, I volunteered at the library (and do to this day).

Some goals met, most falling a bit short.
Because of several extra commitments in 2026, probably won't reach 100 books.
