It's winter in CNY - we might as well enjoy it!

Wise words...

"I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them—with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself."

NY Times columnist David Brooks on the importance of books in the home

There is a terrific column in the New York Times today.  We know it's true, but it's nice to have studies backing us up.  Give it a read...

  1. At least 3 different people have emailed this article to me. It is also interesting to read the associated comments. It makes me feel proud of NOPL. I am especially proud of Wanda at Brewerton for including sooo many books in the summer reading treasure chest. Owning books DOES make a difference!
