For the Love of Books

January 30, 2009 by Samantha Rios  

There are so many good books on our shelves these days that we take for granted and I know I am not the only one who put “read more books” right under “lose weight” on my list of new year’s resolutions (a list that has stayed the same for the past five years I’ll have you know). Well this is the year and the time is now! I will not only be your guide for great classics and best-sellers (even though I have a list that would get you non-readers to commit), I will point you to the best bargains for your books-for-pleasure and the books you want to burn after you find out how much they cost—textbooks.  I will also be exposing some prime locations to get your read on or have a study sesh when the campus library isn’t enough. So meet me here for a library party and we can share some novel ideas and start marking off that list of resolutions! I’ll leave you with this:

“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.”  -Mark Twain, attributed

Your friendly librarian,

Sam
