Stories, lessons, friends, the escape of a good book, they should have no bounds. They should not be guarded by some entitled gatekeeper and the Library is a big part of crossing those bounds to reach the people who need it.

Now, as a family, we go to the library weekly and, becuase of our trips, I've had the pleasure of experiencing so many books I may never have picked up otherwise. I've read so many books that I get to share with you all! I strongly believe that reading and books should be accessible to everyone.

I love being able to read while I do other things like adult. With audiobooks,I've experienced so many stories that I'm not sure I ever would have gotten to read otherwise!
And,not only do I get to experience these books,I get to share them through the Emporium,too,and I do love sharing stories!

But she's soft and sweet and among the first to try to make me feel better when I'm sad. She might not be the most accommodating reading buddy, but she is a reading buddy and I'm happy for it.

She's the most likely to keep me awake while I read, as I'll have to work to see around her to see my book, or block her way from getting between me and my book.

And still, I am thankful for the love she brings into our house, as well as her ability to keep us humble.

She is the most relaxing of the three, and, maybe because of that, she may just be the most comforting. She's also the most likely to lend a paw while I package up adoptions to ship out and to block my view of the camera or computer while working in my office.

She also makes a pretty amazing reading partner, laying on the library floor as I read in the chair. She's the best dog I could have asked for!

She's been gone about 8 years now, but there's still this part of me that connects drinking coffee with my grandma; like drinking coffee brings her a little closer to me.

It wasn't until I was well into adulthood, in my thirties, that I started drinking coffee. At first, I'd take some from Grammy's coffee pot, and then I got my own.

Don't get me wrong, all that's true BUT what I've just realized is, it goes further than that.

See, growing up, my grandma was the coffee drinking adult in my life. I loved my grandma. She was one of the most influential adults in my life. And I liked the smell of coffee, but not the taste.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't love books because I own a bookstore, I own a bookstore because I love books.
