Fiction for the adult in all of us.......

The saying is actually "... for the kid in all of us," but occasionally our inner "adult" requires some nurturing as well. Besides, why should only kids have fun or get to be enthusiastic about a new book? Just today a patron stopped in to pick up a book she had requested, and was practically bursting with joy that it was here. A few minutes prior, I expressed an equal amount of enthusiasm when a book arrived for me. What can I say? Reading isn't just for kids!

We, here at the library, love that you adults love books (and audiobooks and DVDs and music CDs, etc.). Even better, we love to see you leave the library with a silly grin on your face and a book or more tucked under your arm or overflowing your "I Love My Library" bag.

So, give your inner "adult" some much needed attention (and our library circulation a boost) by giving him or her what it craves most... some good, new fiction.
