Read-a-thon: Hour 1 Update

I'm awake! I over slept and missed hour 1. I doubt that I will update every hour. I have to leave the house for a few hours to run a girl scout meeting. I think I'll update before I go, when I get back and may be a couple more times before my Wrap Up post.

I have a book that I need to read and review. So I'll do that now and participate in a couple of challenges. I'll check back in after hour 3.

Happy reading!

Read-a-thon is coming!

 This weekend is the 24-hour read-a-thon. In my time zone, we start at 7:00 am Saturday, April 10. Because of things I need to get done with my kids, I won't likely get the entire 24 hours in, but I'm going to give it my best. It's not too late to sign up.

WG: Checking Out Libraries

Over at Weekly Geeks, this week's prompt is about libraries.
I have a mom who loves to read, so there were always books around the house. I recall going to the library and looking through the card catalog (would I be dating myself to admit that I miss those?). I loved having my own card. I'm sure that I went to the school library, but my childhood library memories involve the public library.

I now live in a larger town that has a library with several branches. I used to have the intention of visiting every branch, but that hasn't happened. I would guess that I have frequented 5-6 branches, though. I love the branch in my neighborhood because they know me and my children by name.

Since I've been blogging, I now visit the library about once every week and half. I frequent the library a lot more during the summer because I want to keep my kiddos reading. I'm cheap, so I rarely buy books. When I do, they tend to be more reference "how to" types that I typically purchase used or on clearance.

Thanks, Weekly Geeks, for the post idea!

I am a participant in the Support Your Local Library challenge.
