Long Live Libraries

James learned to read this year,
and today he got a library card.

I am not sure he fully understands
that he now has control of the world
of words.  His 7 year old mind has yet
to weigh the importance of this event.

He might use the card to learn
to build a house, or stage a revolution.
Perhaps he'll read about Lincoln or
Henry David Thoreau.

Today, with his card he borrowed
a DVD cartoon of Kipling's mongoose,
and a story about an Elephant and
a Pig.  They are quite hilarious.

When we got home, James proudly
showed his Mom his card, and the
first borrowed items, before asking
if he could go on the computer.
