Welcome to the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge! This month my theme is Library Love, focusing on my love of libraries generally, as well as for the Sacramento Public Library (my local library) more specifically.

I hope you find these posts informative as well as fun, and that they encourage you to visit your local library to see what’s new.

Freedom and freebies
Welcome to the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge! This month my theme is Library Love, focusing on my love of libraries generally, as well as for the Sacramento Public Library (my local library) more specifically. I hope you find these posts informative as well as fun, and that they encourage you to visit your local library to see what’s new. “Free” is a word that gets used a lot at the library. It’s free to sign up for a library card, free to check out books and other materials (as long as you bring them back on time!), and free to enjoy the library’s physical space as well…
