Libraries terrified me as a little girl. I was always afraid that I’d loose the books, or damage them in some way. It was such a serious place, I imagined the consequences of loosing a library book would be dire. Now, as an adult I really miss going to the library, running my hands across rows and rows of books, the old book smell, the quiet, and even the idea of borrowing something for free…and bringing it back when done.
In honor of our lovely and endangered libraries, here’s a Library Chic roundup.
Do you still go to libraries? If you, like me, haven’t been in a while, what are some of your library memories?

I’ve always loved libraries, there’s a small library about 5 minutes away from my house, I love walking there and getting lost for a while.

I love going to libraries. I sometimes stay in the library to read my favorite book so I am not disturbed by phone calls or emails.

Ohhh this is so spot on, Justina. Loving that numbered tray. I can see it rocking something fabulous at a florists, too.
