Im sure some of you have been there but I was just in the Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal which is dubbed one of the most beautiful book stores in the world - cost 10 euro to get in but it was beautiful. The rumor (which isn‘t true) is that JK Rowling based her Hogwarts library on it bc she had lived in Porto. Even though it‘s not true - still fun to pretend and appreciate how pretty this little store is. 💕📚

The setting for this historical fiction novel was the Richmond, VA theater fire of 1811, which was the biggest tragedy of its day. I appreciate the author‘s research and her efforts to bring to life real people who were present at the time. Where she lost me is when she wrote characters from 1811 as if they had the opinions of people living in 2020. Even though I agree with their opinions, women in 1811 would not have talked or behaved that way.

The history of the National Forest Service and the men who helped form it along with a horrific forest fire that happened in Idaho at the time. This was a really good book in face of what‘s happening now. (Pictured is a note written in a historic school house in Smoky Mountain National Park.)

Good, worrisome book.

I started a re-listen to this book about the beginnings of the US Forest Service and the response to massive wildfires in Idaho around that time. Somehow I had forgotten what a great conservationist Teddy Roosevelt was.

It‘s officially hashtag#TakeActionForLibraries Day! To celebrate and advocate for libraries and library funding, we want every library lover to make their voice heard today. Head to ala.org/showup to learn how you can take action by calling or emailing Congress, writing a letter to your local newspaper, and more! Tell Congress how important your library is to your community - and how important federal funding is to sustain their work.

Ruthiella Thank you for this information. I‘m a patron of multiple libraries and I definitely want to support them and keep them available for all. 4mo
