Library of my dreams...

"When I got my library card, that's when my life began."

~ Rita Mae Brown

I read a book when I was young

about a little girl getting her very first library card. 

I've never remembered the name of the book

or been able to find it, yet,

but it left a huge impression on me. 

I could feel her excitement, almost taste and smell the dust of the library, 

the musty smell of the books

and the anticipation and excitement, the freedom and responsibility

of being able to check out one's very own book selection.
And take them home, to be YOURS for a predetermined time.

My hope is that I will find this book again before I die. 

I loved the library of the castle in Scotland

but can you imagine searching for books at every level of this staircase? 

It looks like it should be a part of the set 

for the movie "Inception",

worlds within worlds of dreams.
