Home sweet home: funny things overheard at the library.

Closing time at the library. A girl of about four years old and her father have just finished using the self-checkouts and are heading towards the door. The girl looks up at her Dad and asks, “Why are they closing the library?”

He responds, “Because the people who work here have to go home.”

She frowns. “But why can’t they live HERE?”

Why not, indeed? Massive square footage, open concept, tons of natural light, a fireplace, comfy chairs, and thousands of books.ย  I can see where she’s coming from…..ย  ๐Ÿ˜‰

    My sentiments exactly! I always wanted to live in a library or bookstore. I’d work for free. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    We have a very small local library, with a gas fireplace, big chairs, a quilt and stained glass on the walls . . . I always think how nice it would be to live there!

    The 4 year old has a lot of wisdom ๐Ÿ™‚ I now have a comfortable chair in my “library” which makes the room very cozy!

    Ahhhh. What a great story. Thanks for sharing. I’ve always been at home in a library. When I was young, it felt like a really safe place to be, too.
