Columbus Ohio Library BookFest
Yet another scorcher in Columbus, but got out early and tried out a new coffee shop/cafe near East Market that was amazing. Great space, good coffee (I asked for a cortado and they made if properly, unlike most places where they just serve you a latte in a smaller cup) and the locally made baked goods were amazing! The neighborhood really needs more businesses like that.
Then on to the all-weekend-long Columbus Library book fair. Huge crowds and an amazing number of vendors for such a miserably hot day. Sad to admit, our first visit to the library in the nearly 10 years we've been in Columbus, but we now have plenty of reasons to go back!
A few more errands then home before the 'lets turn the humidity up to 11' popup showers hit...

I love books, just got 7 more in today from thriftbooks 😀. My only issue with libraries is that once I have a book I do not like to part with it 😉. I live in a camper so the number of dead tree books can keep around is limited. Though I do have literally thousands of ebooks that fit just fine in my camper. I love Project Gutenberg!

in reply to Unus Nemo • •@Unus Nemo I really like libraries for the same reason I like a good record store -- that sense of discovery and serendipity in finding new things I had no idea I was interested in (or about to become interested in).
I also tend to "buy and hold" books (and records) and return to them periodically. That is what makes the curation part important.
