That's what bookstores are to librarians - - Heaven on Earth! Yesterday, I got to go shopping for our church library. For my first stop, I decided to pick up some excellent condition used books at McKay's
They have an amazing selection of books/videos/cds. It's almost overwhelming.
Yes, it is a two story building.
I did some shopping at our Lifeway Bookstore, too. We definitely have quite a few books to process for the library shelves beginning next week.
On the way home, I had intended to stop at Lee University and sign up for Encore Classes at Lee
This are for 'seniors' who are age 60 or above. Basically for only $25, you can sign up for two classes - - mini classes or a full semester. If you do the 'regular' classes, you can either audit them or do the assignments and tests and receive college credit.
However, I decided to wait until I retire. I could fit one more activity in my schedule but I am tired of having a lot to do every day and every week. Plus, we have a lot we want to do around our house for the next few months.
My main interest in taking a class was to learn more about Microsoft programs - - - but there is a free online tutorial. I started working on it last night. Here is the link if you are interested. It's impressive that they have so many versions available.
Today was a lovely lunch with a birthday girl at Gondolier
My meal of choice was spaghetti and meatballs - - some of the best meatballs I have eaten in any restaurant.
(I have no spaghetti pictures - - that is their pizza.)
And that's all the news for tonight. There is more to post - - but will do that another day. Right now I have a book to read!

I think I could spend several days in that bookstore. I admire you for getting in and out in time to go to another store as well.
That pizza looks good and the spaghetti and meatballs sounds good.
I hope you have a great weekend.
The book store looks HUGE...I can see why this would be heavenly for you!!!
The college classes sound great....hopefully you will have some time soon.
I took a few classes myself years ago for the tech stuff; microsoft word, office, excel etc....it was great to learn it without having to guess all the time. :)
Have a great weekend!
I find myself pining for McKay's. I do enjoy shopping there.
There's something about a book store and library that make my heart race... I can't imagine anyone getting bored in this world today with all there is to do and most especially with all there is to read.. I just wish there was more time in a day. Reading is something I love to do, but it is so far down on my list that when I get to it at the end of the day, I'm so tired that it doesn't last long. Maybe when I retire!! This bookstore looks great.. as does the food pictures. (I love italian). Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!
I'd love the bookstore, too. I'm thinking about senior classes, but that will have to wait for next year and a slower schedule. We never lost power and it's cool enough right now that I've turned off the air conditioning. Prayers for Schoharie County!
I would love to visit the bookstore! John recently started listening to books on tape and is enjoying it very much.
Have a good week, Lynda.

That is so awesome Lynda that you want to take classes and you are trying to learn Microsoft; so proud of you. I hope you got a lot of good books for your library. The food looks good, thanks for sharing.

Our Library has BED BUGS!

I have been at the library a lot lately....kind of takes the joy out of it....boo wooo
