More Librarian Love

A shot of one of my favorite libraries. OK, I don't check out books here, but I did visit. It's so gorgeous:

Library of Congress Reading Room


Haiku

snow falling
out the library windows;
pages turning

School Librarian
By Kristine O’Connell George

Mrs. Thompson knows I love sad stories.
The books she lends me
come with
hidden bookmarks­


folded tissues tucked into
the sad parts.
