IT’S WORLD BOOK Day.
Were you a book worm as a kid? You’ll remember…
1. Your readathon sponsorship card
Oh I can definitely do 16 books a day, just watch me.
2. Taking joy in examining this in the front of every library book
So you could see how many times it had been read, and when.
3. These little date stamps that everyone wanted to PROPERLY play library
4. Or these on the inside of your primary school books
5. The tiny tables and chairs in the public library kids’ section
6. These secretive library cards
7. Until you graduated to these flashy laminated cards
* Signs name on back proudly*
8. Enid Blyton was queen
9. These excellent reads you browsed in the library

Remember the excitement of waiting all day until you got to go visit with your fiver?

Maaaaam, can we go to Easons?
