The library is the writer’s favorite place because it has many books for school and for fun. In summer they read mystery stories outside, while in winter they use the library for school projects, dictionaries and atlases. With the help of the librarian they learned how to search for books on the computer and now they can do all the research themselves. Their whole family also enjoys the library’s books, videos and magazines, and they hope to have a personal collection of books one day. Reading is a habit that the writer’s mother says is good for everyone.
