Library Finds...

Today I was helping "cull" books from our school library when I came upon this book by Woodrow Wilson. I immediately looked at the library card to find that it was checked out in 1920 - how incredible! And the marker in the front cover that this is the "Property of the American College for Girls, Constantinople" was just incredible. Imagining that someone checked out this book almost 100 years ago in this same place, under a different school ne in a different city name. Kind of magical, really.

...and yet again, chalk one up for paper books vs. Kindles - the books themselves telling their own kind of story about the readers and places before you...
