I have similar memories of my library when I was a kid. The familiar smell of worn leather and faded paper was so comforting to me and the cool silence was refreshing. I remember going to a favorite cubby hole in the back of library and spending hours there reading encyclopedias because I learned so much from them – I always wished I could take them home. My favorite classics have always been Little Women, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice. I loved anything by Judy Blume when I was growing up. My current favorite author is Anita Shreve. And I don’t like reading books on an ipod or any electronic device – I need something tangible – the weight of it in my hands is a comfort alone. I’m sure you probably feel the same way.

The destruction that happened is heartsore indeed, but you are right- its never that simple.
