Celebrating #BetsysPartyinPlace was a fitting end to #NationalLibraryWeek.
Betsy loved her Library! 🎂
#findthelibraryatyourplace

Mrs. Poppy invites Betsy to visit her at her home, the Melborn Hotel. Much grander than the Deep Valley House. 😊 #grandhotel #wanderingjune

A gift from #independentbookstoreday #shoplocal

I had to show both my first and second posts. #litsymemories My #firstpost was a little over 3 years ago. Sadly, this is not my personal #betsytacy collection. ☹️

@LeahBergen I think you were among my first likes for Emily. 😊

"She thought of the library, so shining white and new; the rows and rows of unread books; the bliss of unhurried sojourns there." #BetsyTacyConvention #betsytacy #maudhartlovelace

In a #belovedchildrensbook, #childprotagonist Betsy visits the library for the first time, where she will #travelwithbooks to far-off lands, including the "Isle of Delos." #booksaboutbooks Happy #mapMonday! ? #aprilbookishmadness #readingresolutions #hopintospring #aprilinbooks18 #happinessisresistance

They discover a library, hotel, and opera house; and meet new friends

In a book #setinwinter that always makes me #wanttosmile and is #onyourshelfallyear forever, Betsy eats more than one #cookie. Being the voracious reader she is, I'm sure she often enjoys a #bookandtreat. And she vows to always be a #believer in Santa Claus. #survivingdecember #seasonsreadings2017 #quotsydec17 #decktheshelves #decdays #jingleshelves #multitasking

Every Christmas, Betsy, Tacy, and Tib (and this time, Winona) #spentadayholidayshopping to choose a special ornament and #view all the wonders in the Deep Valley shops, because #tistheseason. #setinwinter. #seasonsreadings2017 #survivingdecember #jingleshelves #reindeerreads #multitasking

This might be a little #🌽-y, but the name of this painting Betsy sees on her first trip to the #library is a sly reference to the author's real-life husband, Delos Lovelace. No doubt they were #overcome by ❤️. #marriage #quotsynov17 #emojinov #noteworthynovember #tuneintonovember

I love the last few lines of Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown, which takes place when they are #twelve and Betsy is thinking of "herself and Tacy and Tib going into their 'teens." So sweet, and sets up so much fun to come in the high school books! #novemberbythenumbers #12 #betsytacy #maudhartlovelace

#internationalcatday My elusive Tacy , I adopted her , an adult kitty, a few summers ago when my humane society put out the word they had soooo many cats. I think she belonged to a little old lady ,cuz she acts like a little old lady! I always wonder what happened to Betsy.

#Multitasking for #drive and #wegotogether, because Betsy and Tacy always go together. 😄 #90sInJuly #JubilantJuly #betsytacy

Betsy's father opens #awholenewworld to her when he tells her she's old enough to go to the #library by herself. #JubilantJuly #sizzlinsummerbooks #multitasking

Also, I first discovered the #BetsyTacy books in a library and checked them out many times thereafter. 😊

#sizzlinsummerbooks here's a couple of old #besties from back in the days of my youth.

This is not #mylocallibrary, but I have made a pilgrimage there. 😀 (Image from the #BetsyTacy Encyclopedia) #riotgrams

#myveryfirstlitsypost, 7 months ago, wherein I borrowed a photo from the Internet and just typed in my quote. This was before I discovered all the great photo apps and how much more fun it is when I add a #kittenlitten to my pictures. 😺#booktober #firstlitsypost

Betsy returned to her chair, took off her coat and hat, opened her book and forgot the world again.
