This morning, on GMFB, Kyle nentioned that his dad is a voracious reader yet, he refuses to buy a kindle. I am also like that! I prefer to read physical books. Kay responded by putting her fists in the air and yelling, “Paperbacks!” and she said that she still has a library card. Of course I had to tweet at her this:
I actually have two library cards. One for Dearborn and one for Deerborn Heights. My son also has two cards. I asked him when he got his Deerborn Heights card and neither one of us could remember but he had to be around 10.
I spent so much of my life when I was growing up in the Dearborn Public Library. I read 100 books The summer before either kindergarten or first grade. In the evenings, in the summer, my Mom would take my brothers, cousins, and sometimes neighborhood kids, and me to get ice cream and we would run around the fountain in front of the library and eat the ice cream.
I don’t really frequent that area anymore because I no longer drive but one time in 2016, we passed the Centenial library and I know that I had Sean take a picture of the fountain’s demolition but it is no longer there.
I haven’t been to the library and so long, I just order books on Amazon now. I think it’s crazy how reading has completely changed now for me. I find that my eyes get tired faster than I am finished reading but I just have to stop reading which is sad.
