The Things You Can Read: Happy National Libraries Day

The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect. Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

Happy National Libraries Day

February 9 is National Libraries Day. Check out the National Libraries Day site HERE. If you can't make it to a library check out Flavorwire's selection of the most beautiful libraries in reality and in imagination: Beautiful Libraries in Museums & the Imagination. Shelf Awareness states:

Noting that "we're always on the lookout for lovely architecture, preferably lovely architecture that incorporates books," Flavorwire showcased "11 of the most beautiful museum libraries in the world." And just in case your affection for libraries runs toward the imaginary side, a quick exploration of literature, film and television revealed 10 of the "best fictional libraries in pop culture."

Share a link to your favorite library! Happy Reading whether your book is one from the library or one you own.
