Jo's First Note

Do you ever feel like no one around you is reading a book? Well, there must be people reading somewhere as there are a slew of publishers still going strong. Even Amazon created their own physical book store to create an atmosphere similar to the well-known chain Barnes and Nobles. And, books are more accessible with digital publishing than ever before.

So, I’ve decided to provide this short blog for your reading pleasure.

My first “Jo’s Book Notes” is to simply state, visit your local library. It hasn’t disappeared and is working hard to keep up with the trends of those who visit. We are fortunate in the United States that most libraries are free. Okay, they are funded by taxes and grants. But, in most locations, the local resident may walk in and still borrow a book with an agreement of trust that the book will be returned with minimum wear and in a timely manner.

When you visit the library you will discover that people are still reading books. You might even find someone you know! Where else can you go and get something free!
