While I received my library card at a young age and perhaps didn't realize the significance of it all, I've definitely had this moment. When I moved away from home to start my studies at the University of Mary Washington, I realized that I would have to get a new library card; while the library at UMW does have a selection of current and popular books, I needed a place with a larger selection that could keep up with my continuous reading. So I got online, found the nearest library in the Fredericksburg area, signed up as a member and eventually, a week later, I received my library card in the mail. That moment felt glorious, and while there were no fireworks, I was so excited to check out books and explore the library. I hope everyone, especially young children, get to have an experience similar to Lio. Have a great day and read a book!
That's a great cartoon! It's how I feel every time I walk into a library and see all the new books that have come in, LOL. :)
