My dad used to take me to the library when I was a kid, and sometimes we stopped for ice cream on the way home! The library was one of the Carnegie libraries and I remember it was one of the most beautiful buildings I was ever in. The modern (1970s concrete) building that replaced it never even came close to creating the same magical feeling for me.

Of course when the kids were little, it was great fun bringing them to explore and choose books, but now I like to take my time and walk through the shelves looking at titles. I wonder if many do this anymore. My guess is they go right to the new books shelves right by the desk, and rarely go back into the stacks. If I ran libraries, I'd have a table out front of the check out area, with weekly choices of old books so people could see all the wonders the library holds.
