Libraries Are Wonderful

I love libraries. I try to go to the library at least once a week. My printed list of what I have checked out is nearly as tall as me. I have three piles of library books stacked in my room. Just looking at them makes me happy. I've always loved books, even when I was little. I got my library card when I was about seven or eight. (It disappeared mysteriously and reappeared about 2 years later.)
Here are 7 reasons why I love libraries:
1. They're free!!! (Unless, of course, you forget to return stuff, in which case they can be quite expensive.)
2. If you don't like the book, you don't have to feel bad because you didn't spend any money on it.
3. Librarians. If you can't find something, chances are they can. Although I bet the ones at our library probably think I'm incredibly annoying because I'm always putting stuff on hold and asking to renew stuff and asking if they can give me a list of everything out on my card. But they're always sweet about it.
4. The gigantic beanbag chair by the teen section. It's so comfy, and you can fit like four or five people on it at once.
5. The silence. (Although that is rapidly disappearing.)
6. Where else can you go that has movies, reference books, fiction, and magazines all in the same place??? Not even Barnes&Noble has movies!!!
7. BOOKS!!! BOOKS!!! MORE BOOKS!!! BOOKS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE!!! BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS!!!
And yes, I am a spaz.
I like to blame it on all the reading.
