2012 Support Your Local Library reading challenge

I am shooting for level 4 – reading 37+ books from my library. The rules can be found here

This time last year I worked at my school’s library, and at any given time I usually had about 30-40 (or more…) books checked out. Because I was a student, I had access to the Summit lending program, which let me check out books from libraries all over the Pacific NW. As you might imagine, I used this service heavily. Not only that, but I was easy biking distance from my local library. It was really book heaven.

I moved to Gladstone in September, which took me away from the awesome library. I also graduated, so lost Summit privileges, and got a new job, so am no longer working at a library. All this combines to mean that I haven’t been to a library for a very long time. I miss those days of wandering the stacks, checking out dozens of books “risk-free”. I even love the feel of library books better than books I’ve purchased. I like how worn they are, as they’ve been passed from reader to reader. I am feeling some severe library-withdrawals. This should help!

This page will be updated throughout 2012 as I finish the books.
