Greetings, book and treat people! I’m back in Western Mass after a month of beautiful ocean and family time. I’m very happy to be home with my books and plants. But the most exciting thing to come home to is THE NEW LIBRARY! I live in a tiny town (population 700) and while there is a one-room library that is open a few hours each week, the library I use regularly is in Greenfield, the nearest sizable town. The old library was small and dark. It was not a nice place to spend time in, and it was certainly not resourced enough to serve the town’s population. The new library has been under construction for the past few years. It’s right next door to the old library. I’ve watched it come into existence while picking up and dropping off books. Now it’s open, and it’s everything.
So much goodness here! "Living is world-building." Woof. I'm gonna be thinking about that one. As always, thank you for writing, Laura!
Aw, thank you, as always, for reading! I'm glad it resonated.
