I am a woman who still is working (part time) as a librarian at age 74. I love music and good literature. In my younger days I worked as a model at first and then owned a bookstore.
Linda, thank you and all the librarians and bookstore owners and staff for bringing such joy and knowledge to the rest of us. I much prefer a printed bound paper object in my hands to the alternatives. Unfortunately, a couple generations from now, they will wonder how we ever survived...
@MikeSp there is nothing like a real book although I love the convenience of ebooks for light throwaway reading. It provides more bookshelf space for books I want to keep.
