What‘s just as good — if not better — than your S.O. getting you books for Valentine‘s Day? When they donate to your favorite library, and you get to pick books to have your name in!

Kaye How about that ! Our library here sometimes buys books in memory of someone who has passed away, when the family donates money to them. It‘s very nice to see the note in the front of the book with someone‘s name on it. I keep wondering what book I‘d want donated with my name in it. 6y

I eavesdropped on two young teenage girls book browsing. One said to the other, after exclaiming over a book she loved so much that she bought it, "I love writing in my books. It's so much more special to own a book, don't you think?" Her friend nodded. It made my heart smile to hear the book love. ?
