“Her Library Has Burned”

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 23 Comments/ 972

This is what drew me in.  I spied a Little Free Library while we were walking to our car in Beaufort, South Carolina and immediately stopped.  Poor Chris is getting pretty used to my swivel head when it comes to spying Little Free Libraries. But Continue reading →

Library Lover? This One Is For You!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books, Travel/ 12 Comments/ 433

Any one who knows me knows that I love books and libraries.  I have been a huge fan of libraries since my younger days when a very kind librarian took me under her wing. Mrs. Chandler made a immature, awkward, shy young girl feel important. Continue reading →
