I love libraries a lot but give me a quaint old bookstore on some less traveled way and I could spend hours there. I spent a lot of my youth reading as an escape from dealing with puberty and growing up. You end up learning a lot about life and how to navigate it from the authors that struggled with the same thing.

Someone once told me, "The value of a library is not the books you've read, but the books you haven't read. " So very true.
