A trip to the library
On Saturday morning (yes, it has taken me a long time to blog about it :-)) we went to the local library and Dominic joined up. He found the process quite exciting and enjoyed the shouting at the books*. We had a long meander around around the childrens/young adult section and I found more books that I wanted to read there than I had in the adult section.
It was pleasant how many former students (and current ones in Matt's case) we bumped into at the library on a Saturday morning, and there was a really cute boy who was probably about 6 or 7 in front of us at the issues desk who was really eager and enthusiastic about his books. It gives an English teacher hope for the future. :-)
As well as returning home with a bundle of books and kids CDs, Dominic also got to play with his new beloved library card.
He happily discovered that his library card was very chewable.
And he was pretty impressed with having it on a cool lanyard to wear round his neck.
* Well, maybe it was the people around as well but he got really hyper wriggly and shouty. Amazingly enough no librarians from the 1950s appeared from around bookshelves wearing stern expressions, buns and cardigans to 'shhhh' him.

DOnt' know why but the ghostbusters library scene keps coming to mind. What a gorgeous set of photos and how cool that Dom has a library card. Some future English teacher will bless you when he appears in their class, full of enthusiasm, general knowledge and literature appreciation.
Yay for libraries!
I have loved the young adults section since I was still supposed to be reading in the childrens section. I'm currently enjoying a feast of Diana Wynne Jones.
If you would like, I could dress up as a 50s librarian and shush him for you? Of course, my hair is too short for a bun so it won't be the complete experience.
