Library. Now that's a title to stop the scrolling. Yes I've always loved libraries. My first was as a toddler in the countryside where the bookmobile would stop by the only school in the area weekly. I stayed in there the entire time it showed up. Fast forward to a few years ago when I visited Flagstaff, AZ, the library had sandwiches and free local phones available (including free computer use) to anyone who needed them. I was touched by that gesture as there's a lot of homeless in the area and me being a solo traveler sans iphone used the computers. So librarians carry with them the social awareness and justice ideology that their musty ole books do. Thanks for this today Carm. Loved the flute music also.

Quite a shock-it's wonderful seeing Meena and Rocky though totally unexpected, since you tend to always film outdoors during the warmer months. I like how Meena disappeared behind the 'magic curtain' just as soon as she showed up. And I think i'm hearing the director making a bit of a racket towards the end of the video which just cracked me up. A fun video-I've always loved the atmosphere of libraries-especially in schools as they were the only quiet, mellow place often within the entire building. I keep meaning to officially visit my town library, but it's all the way on the other side of town, an area which I rarely have any reason to go to (apart from that's where they moved the post office)... I like to keep all the books I read so I tend to buy them, so i'd be using the library for other things. I hadn't actually gone to one in years when in the last several weeks i've actually gone to the one in my sisters town because they're one of the places that offers fax services and I needed to fax some documents. And I loved going in ther-it reminded me of what i've always loved about libraries. Quiet, nice helpful folks working there, etc. Plus when I went there I think there was only maybe one other person in the whole library. They also located dit on a dead-end street, so it's a very quiet place. Really nice actually-too bad that one isn't MY local library! I do love and buy audio books-but only non-fiction, the longer the better. I've had bios that ran for over 20 hours which I would play in my car while driving around. I would simply pick up where I left off and it ended up taking 2 full months of driving around to get through several of the longer audiobook bios that I bought.

Great to see you responding to someone's book tag Carm. I guess as cousins we both have a fond memory for visiting a local library. My favorite was and still is the BPL. The Boston Public Library. I also have a Thomas Crane local library that it less than five minutes from my house. I always respected the people who worked at each one. Some of their intellect and their knowledge of books is astonishing. I appreciated hearing your responses to the various questions. Do you have a particular book that you have read more than once? Always great to spend a little time with you Carm~ Rob/Boston

Like you I haven't visited the library lately as much as I used too! I used to borrow lots of CDs but My collection is growing so Getting CDs from the library is few and far Between! Peace, love and music Trish

So great that you did our tag! The library is just so great 💕 That’s really cool that you went in to the library for author visits. Thats fun 📚

Hello Carm so glad you have a new video

So good seeing the Director! My wife works part time at the library, and I used to spend every summer in the library (there were library camps, plus I would just take out loads of books and read them at the beach). The current attacks are real - she and the staff had to deal with a lot of grief the past few years.

Hi Carm, good to see you and the director. I'm a short distance from our City library. Its very handy for getting stuff printed, photocopying etc. All the best, Dave.

I should have more to say on this topic as I just finished a diploma to be a library technician! But as soon as I graduated I found myself going to libraries less 😂 I’ve certain applied to work in libraries this year but so far, all rejections. I certainly spent a lot of time in libraries for the first, say, 32 years of my life - sitting for hours and reading, borrowing books, and later doing writing and cartooning in libraries. One thing that changed was that I started living alone and I guess I lost the constant need for a place to be alone, although last year my library student friends and I would do our assignments together in the state library here and it helped us concentrate. Great to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Sweet furs, of course! This is a very fun tag, however, I haven't used a library since school days so it wouldn't really apply here. Since I have discovered used books, that's the way I went from there on. Especialyy the thrifts and flea markets!

Carm, great response video. My experience and opinion of the Library is quite similiar to yours ( we've talked about the subject before). The Internet has taken the place of the library, for me, I do miss going to my favorite library but I seem to forget it exists, even though I drive by it quite often. The public library concept started in the 19 th century, before that, there were only ''subscription libraries''. Cindy informed me about those little free library boxes, I had no idea that they existed. The great bass player, Palle Danielsson passed away recently, I found out by seeing a video on drummer Peter Erskine's you-tube channel. Stay cool!

Hi Carm, how nice to see you doing a book tag!! I like your Canyon Spirits music.

Hi big brother! Such a cool tag! As always loved it and your answers were insightful! Love you!!! Love to my sweet fur babies too from Auntie ❤️

Hi Carm, nice to see you and the Director again. I've stepped back from watching videos for the last few months so have fallen a bit behind. I loved libraries when I was a kid too. We actually had a mobile library in a van that used to stop near our house. Later on there was the school library (we had two there!) and various other town ones. I worked in the library in Leeds for a short time actually, and my partner is a professional librarian and now works in a hospital library. Ashamed to say I haven't visited the public library in Lancaster here for several years - must put that right!

Hi Carm ! I love books,and any kind of "Book Chat". The Library was such a treat for me when I was in Grade school. The discovery of a new Author,or a title I never heard of was like being on a treasure hunt ! When I had my own children I took them to the Library to broaden their interests in different subjects.The show "Reading Rainbow" helped us discover new titles. As of now, I rarely visit the Library. I am a big reader,but I don't like the time constraints of having to return books at a certain time. I'm currently reading "The Brothers Karamazov" and it's a "Hefty" book that requires patience and time. I do buy second hand books for sustainability,and I love finding notes in margins,and all kinds of "Ephemera" inside the leaves of some old books. I love worn,well loved books,and I even love the smell of books ! I will never outgrow my love of reading..This was an interesting "Tag". Happy Reading !📚🫖 Happiness, Cindy🌻

My library isn’t too far away and I really should get over there more…I used to be known by name and face there but it has been ages….I need to get back.

Hi ya Carm and furrzees 🐈🐈interesting to hear your views on this very humbling place the library….take care namaste my friend 🙏🏻✨

Hesse! Loved a lot of those books. Have you ever read The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess?

Carm, this was great! Does it really take an hour to get to your library? I knew you’d say you prefer physical books and that you’d turn in books late. I just knew it! 😃 Libraries can be very special places. 💛

Weird, I don't understand what's going on with YT. I left a comment on your channel and another guy's here, and it drops off. When I saw your video the other day I left a message and came back and it's gone. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'll just go with the flow. But yeah, a bit frustrating, but I'll just say I enjoyed your video, of course, it's what inspired me to do mine. I like watching Michael K. Vaughan's videos as well who is on the Booktube channel, and Bookabus. A newer person I've started watching is Garage Geek. I watched Kellys tag, and subscribed to her. Cheers.
