Share a book-centric childhood memory.


I remember when I was in school and we used to race to the book mobile, because omg we all needed those Francine Pascal books, and if you got one you had not read. Your day was perfect!!




I also remember this time when I went to the book mobile and borrowed 30 books, and I do not remember having something to carry them and it was a 10 min walk home. How did I get those books home? But I loved it and I wanted to read everything.

  5. Oh my I can imagine you trying to carry all those books home! What great memories! I've never been to a book mobile --- is it the same as a library, but in bus or something?

    1. Yes, a library in a bus that went from village to village since we all where far from the main library or even the smaller branches of the main library. We have one at our new place too :D

  11. Fun memory! The anticipation of a new book in the series was big for me when I walked to the library. We had the bookmobile when I stayed with my aunt in a rural area. :)
