I love to read. Sometimes I buy books, but mostly I go to the public library. Being in the library smelling all of those books, old and new, is my happy place. When I can't work in the garden because it's snowing, raining, or too hot, I head to the library. There I always find a new adventure waiting for me.
Last time I went to the library I made a new a friend, Avery. Avery is in fourth grade and we like the same books do we decided to start a book club. Book clubs are a great way to grow as a reader.
Last week Avery and I started "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott. At first my favorite character was Amy. Avery explained that her favorite character was Jo. She said that Jo stood for the changes that were happening with women at that time. I hadn't thought about that.
Reading and discussing my thoughts helped me better understand how I felt. It also helped open my eyes to other ideas. I also like to journal as I read. Sometimes when I go back I realize that I completely changed how I felt.
Because my library is often busy I downloaded their app. It helps me to reserve a book. If they don't have it it shows me who does or how far away it is. Go to your public library if you haven't been in a while. You might make a new friend!
