We are kindred spirits. I, too, am in love with libraries and have fond memories not only of the brick-and-mortar buildings but also the bookmobile that came to my rural town! I hope they live on for a long, long time.

I’m so glad, too! I like that Brumback family . . . I’m on the Board of Directors for our county’s Friends of the Library. And part of our mission is to encourage all people to be like the Brumbacks. Don’t you wish everyone would take advantage of the free books, computers, CDs, paperbacks, etc.? It’s a treasure trove!

What a neat town in which to learn how to be a teacher! With the scenery, background of so many writers and politicians in the area, and a captive (somewhat) audience at least during the winter, I would think you would have been a bright part of the learning process. Thanks for taking a look!

I just love these old libraries and so happy when they are preserved. I spent practically my whole childhood in our little town library (Brumback Library, Van Wert, Ohio). Turns out, if I remember correctly, it was the first county library in the country (opened 1901, I think). The Brumback family believed that everyone should have access to a library! I’m so glad! 🙂

Thanks for taking a look at our post and this lovely library. I’m on the Board of our county library system, so I have a vested interest in these institutions now. So, when we travel, I tell Bert to brake for libraries! So much fun to see what’s inside — the same yet different.

You are very cool! I’m going to find out if my seven-year-old granddaughter is eligible to obtain her own card. She’ll love that! Thanks for taking a look at the post!
