Contrasting Novel Quality

Let’s face it: not all books live up to our expectations. This disappoints us as readers, but at the same time, it allows for a subtle benefit as well. By reading disappointing books, our expectations lower, priming us for success in the next novel that we read.

Rediscovering Reading

Though I wouldn’t be so bold to speak for every librarian in existence, I would be brave enough to assume that most of them have an essential love of reading, learning, or at least media. This is the reason that the Library works to bring such a breadth of opportunity to its patrons, ranging from the items available through our lending system to the Summer Reading Program aimed at maintaining learning in children during school break. However, sometimes things come up in our lives that keep us from what we love most.
