You know what is one thing I appreciate most about the Library? When I check out a book, try to read it, and realize I do not like it. 

I might struggle through chapter 1 or maybe even chapter 2, but by chapter 3 I am ready to find something else. When it is a Library book that is 100% ok! I didn't spend $20 on a book that is going to spend the remainder of its life alone and unloved on a shelf. Instead, I can return it and that little book will be found by someone who can love it. Meanwhile, I can visit my favorite location and a dedicated staffer will say, "life is too short to read books you don't love" and immediately help me find something new. #librariesaremagic
