Second Home

With Hugh, we traveled to the Arctic where we met a polar bear named Lars. We cheered for Leonardo the penguin as he tried to fly. We met Jack and Annie. We followed them to India, Egypt, China, the Wild West, the Ice Ages and even onto the Titanic. Sometimes, we held our breaths and covered our ears when their adventures felt a little too...well, adventurous . We stopped by the Dales in England where James Herriot introduced us to a few of his animal friends. Construction sites, airplane rides, snowball fights...and so much more...we've seen it all...for free...thanks to our public library.A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.
