Book ownership is an important part of literacy. I've read research that emphasizes the importance of personal library as well as using the public library. And partnering with bookstores can alllow budget-strapped libraries an opportunity to do some fun, exciting stuff they would not be able to do, like author visits or costume characters at StoryTime. (Also, I love buying books for my personal library. Library customers always think it's funny to run into a librarian at a bookstore. They always ask if I don't have enough books at the library.) Stacey >>> Terrill <trumpeter2@shaw.ca> 01/27/04 04:04PM >>> Excellent point Melissa ..... there is a valuable, needed place for both things, the library and the book store and it did my heart good to hear of the partnership between the two as you pointed out. I know in most things more is not always better, but when it comes to books ..... I think that may not apply. The more reading, the more books in our lives, whereever they come from, the better. As a former book store owner now library worker myself, I found that there are people who like to own books (for themselves and/or their kids) and there are people who use the library ....... there is actually a growing trend of those who do both! They test drive books at the library and then buy them if they like them or choose something else to try before they buy. Lets just all do the ra-ra for books and we will have libraries and bookstores in our future still. Its all good, methinx!
