In honor of National Library Worker’s Day, I’m bringing you a round up of titles all about love and libraries. Okay, fine. I was totally going to write this anyway, but then it just happened that I got to tie it in with this special day – fabulous timing!
I am a school librarian by trade, and a lifelong library lover at heart. I grew up in libraries with my family and some of my happiest memories as a child were when we lived within walking distance of the public library in our tiny town and I could go there whenever I wanted to just browse and browse and browse and read. As a child, there were also times when we didn’t have a library near us, and I would order books from a regional libraries mail-order catalog – books by mail! For free! As a parent, I am bringing my children up as library lovers too, and count on the public library for so so many things. Given my profession, my children are also growing up in a library every day before and after school! My holds list is always a mile long, and I’ll totally admit that my fines can be high. But I always pay them with a smile and consider it my donation to the greater good.
Now, let’s talk about books about libraries… and LOVE. These books feature romance and library workers and there is NOTHING I love more than this sub genre. For real. This is it for me. You write a book about a library worker and throw in some romance and I will read it no matter what! I have also included a book of love letters……love letters written TO books by a librarian. What could be nerdier and more heavenly than that, you may ask? Well, really nothing at all.
Here are a bunch of swoon-worthy titles for you to check out! Pun intended, thankyouverymuch
