My Library

Inspired by: http://brokenbarsoflight.blogspot.com/2011/08/library.html

Hi! My name is...well, I seem to have forgotten who I am. That page should be around here somewhere. Anyway, welcome to my library. It's a bit of a mess at the moment. That's what happens when you go for years without really caring for it. Like this section over here--this is the school section. The books should be arranged by topic and then alphabetically, but they're just a jumbled up mess right now. I'm not even sure they're all there. And then over there--that's the hall of memories. Wow...anyone who can keep track of all the books in that endless hall is nothing short of amazing. I try to keep the best ones near the front. Over there behind that pile of books, see the door? Yes, there is a door there. Behind it is the room of fiction and dreams. I used to spend hours and hours in there. Now, the shelves are covered with dust and cobwebs. I miss those days. Come this way. I want to show you a very special book. Watch your step. Don't want you tripping over a book or slipping on a loose paper. Ah, here it is. The Book of Friends. It's a kinda collage-scrapbook. Has a few smudges, a tear that needs mending, but this book will always be near to my heart. There's a Bible in here somewhere. You might not be able to tell--it's been marked up so many times. I'm working on cleaning it up so that hopefully I'll find that treasured wisdom said to be hidden within.

I've noticed that a lot of people lock up their library like the closet that all the toys were stuffed into. They check books in and out--but they never take the time to organize it. It's sad really. That's how you end up with the mess I have here. But I'm working on it. Trying to get books back into their places. Bundle loose papers back together. Clean up smudges and crayon markings...mend pages torn or falling out. I've even started working on a catalog to help me find things in this place. It's a vast library (and new books are being added every day)--I may never get the job done. But with the help of the Author of Life, I think this place can be made to look a lot better.

What does your library look like?




....now, that page with my name has got to be here somewhere....
