| | |  Jo gives public libraries a helping hand
J.K. Rowling has joined forces with 150 authors to encourage U.K. citizens to take advantage of public libraries through the “ Love Libraries” campaign. Brought about due to the under-utilization of these libraries in recent years, the campaign is designed to encourage the public to take advantage of all that libraries have to offer. Quote:
Rowling compared libraries to the World-Between-The-Worlds from C.S. Lewis's Narnia books as a "magical, mystical place, hushed and unhurried, where visitors could enter a thousand different worlds by jumping into different pools. When I got my eldest daughter a library card I felt as though I had bought her citizenship of that same fabulous world," she said.

Jo is so amazing and so generous! I wish my town had it's own personal library. But my town is just...bleh. =D |

I live in Pakistan and here hardly anybody goes to Libraries. In fact there hardly are any libraries.  I'm one of the rare book junkies around. I'm into libraries so much because I can get all the books I want for free. I even stalk my School Library.  I appreciate what Jo's doing to promote libraries because we seriously need some library addiction around the globe.  Go Jo and Library Love!

I didn't have a library card until I started taking college classes, but I still rarely use it. I like to buy the books so I can re-read them later.

She is so awesome. I am convinced that there is no end to what that woman will do to help others. She is truly an inspiration. I love J.K. Rowling!  | |

It's so true, I think I haven't been inside the library for at least 2 years, *shame, shame* and I'm seriously thinking of giving up my membership....

Cheers to JKR for helping with another great charity! No matter how popular the internet and other digital stuff gets, nothing beats shelves full of free books to read!  | |

Interesting choice of words considering library cards are meant to be free, right? I haven't been in ages but that's because I've yet to return two books. I'm so bad.
