A sad day
I've always said that all I need to be happy is a library card, so I was very sad to find out that half of the libraries in my area have now had to close down. Technology is great, but actual books are so much better! I make regular weekly visits to my local library, and fortunately the branch I go to was one of the ones that remained open. I would honestly go crazy without a library. I can't even imagine how many thousands of dollars I would have had to spend in order to read all of the books that I've been able to check out from the library. So today was a very sad day. Let's hope they don't all have to close down.

The best children books
As a mother of two young children, ages 4 and 2, and a lover of children books even before I had kids, I've found that I am always drawn to the ones that have great illustrations. The better the illustration, the more likely I am to pick the book up and give it a chance. I am also more likely to pick up your book if it is not too long. I love reading to my kids, but their attention span is not that long at this age and they are always wanting to move ahead to see the next picture. Just a tip for those writing children books for 5 and under ;o).
