International Book Giving Day
Some of you may know that I’m getting involved in Little Free Library (LFL) and there is a year-old library on my street under the auspices of the O’Connor Music Studio.
When our son is home for a visit, we always go out on a hiking trail with the dog, Mimi, and sometimes my mom. On one occasion, we say a LFL in the middle of a trail and thought someone made it themselves.
Then there was another one…
DS knew I was fascinated by this whole idea and ordered one for me for Christmas 2016.
I have found one other in our neighborhood, outside the swimming pool.
Watch for more information about our LFL.
In the meantime, don’t forget to celebrate International Book Giving Day tomorrow.

Changes that were made to a classic Richard Scarry book.
Richard Scarry was an incredibly prolific children’s author and illustrator. He created over 250 books during his career. His books were loved across the world — over 100 million were sold in many languages. But here’s something you may not have known about these classics: They’ve been slowly changing over the years. Don’t panic! They’ve been changing in a good way. Scarry started publishing books in the 1950s, when times were, well, a little different. So some of the details were quietly updated. Alan Taylor, a senior editor for the photo section of The Atlantic, noticed differences back in 2005 and decided to photograph them.
See them here: 8 changes that were made to a classic Richard Scarry book to keep up with the times. Progress!
