Both of us read a great amount and a lot of the books are never available at the library until we donate them. Many we keep and others are set free to find new homes and enrich other lives. The only regret we’ve had was several cases of books that were ruined when the last house developed a mold problem. (It also claimed several cases of 12” Lp albums.)

Me too! 28 years. When we came in this house, aside from the tools and computer junk, there were more books and records than kitchen stuff. What I remember most is the looks in their faces when they compared the book piles to the really cheap appliances!
