Today is Library Giving Day, and I have already given my small donation to the @ppld. I have fallen in love with the great service that the Pikes Peak Library District provides to the people of El Paso County. I personal believe that libraries need our financial and user support more now than ever. Libraries are away to introduce children to the love of reading, and ensure that all children have access to books. I am so proud that both of my daughters do a wonderful job of taking my granddaughters to the library. You can locate libraries that are participating in Library Giving Day. librarygivingday.org/find-li… How did your love of libraries begin? My parents fostered my love of reading when I was very young. We would take multiple trips each week to the La Marque Public Library, which, in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, was in a very tiny old building right around the corner from our home. I remember that the children’s section was in the front room, which was no bigger than the postage-sized living room in my grandparents’ post World War II home. I would spend hours in that little room filled with the magic of books. The first book series I remember reading was all the Curious George books by H.A. and Margaret Rey. I was amazed by that little monkey who could get in so much trouble yet always saved the day. It is important the we pass on our love of reading to the younger generations. #librarygivingday #Reading #readingisfun #booklover #books
