Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about library company€¦
Who, if anyone usually accompanies you to the library? Is it somewhere you go alone? Or is it a regular outing with family or friends? Which do you prefer?
My library visits are either with family or alone. As a child I went with my mother and when I was old enough I started to go by myself. My first full-time job was as a librarian so then I used to bring books home with me. Later I took my son with me and now my husband sometimes come with me.
I have no preference – if I’m with others we split up in the library to browse and meet up when we’ve chosen our books anyway so it really doesn’t make any difference.

I loved to visit the library with my dad when I was a kid. He never rushed me.
Here is my Monday post

The library is like shopping for me – I really prefer to go by myself. Of course when the kids were little, it was great fun bringing them to explore and choose books, but now I like to take my time and walk through the shelves looking at titles. I wonder if many do this anymore. My guess is they go right to the new books shelves right by the desk, and rarely go back into the stacks. If I ran libraries, I’d have a table out front of the check out area, with weekly choices of old books so people could see all the wonders the library holds.

I used to go with mom as a little girl. I loved it. We’d come home with stacks of books 🙂
I miss those times. A lot.

I almost always go with my children to the library. I have such fond memories of going with my mom when I was little. My parents still go!

I almost always prefer to go alone because whomever I go with is always wanting to leave before I’m ready, and I don’t like to feel rushed.
My dad used to take me to the library when I was a kid, and sometimes we stopped for ice cream on the way home! The library was one of the Carnegie libraries and I remember it was one of the most beautiful buildings I was ever in. The modern (1970s concrete) building that replaced it never even came close to creating the same magical feeling for me.
