We Would Love to Hear From You

Someone recently asked the question, Do you remember the first book you ever checked out from the library?

I thought about that for a while, and I don't remember my first book. I do remember a book that I checked out in the grade school library about three dachshunds. One of the dog's names was Cinnamon. It's the first book I remember loving. It was the first book that also brought me disappointment. When I went back to read it again, I couldn't find it. I scoured the book shelves and asked the school librarian if she could help me find the book again, no luck. She said I should look for something else to read. I still don't know what the book was though I can still remember where I thought it was shelved in the library. Maybe my disappointment is a bit of why I became a librarian. I love to help people find the book that brings back good memories, or the title that has just slipped their mind.

I would love to know about the first book you checked out from the library. Leave me a comment or send me an email.
