It has me thinking that when attempts are made to get groups of HSPs together (cat-herding, anyone?), LIBRARIES are a great place to meet. Way better, for me, anyway, than a pub or a busy cafe. And I love that widget. Cecily -- How could you be more wonderfully librarianish than by finding this post and responding so delightfully to it. Think of all of us on this site as your own personal fan club. I’ve heard so many people of the sensitive, gentle, bookish persuasion tell variations of this tale, Jo.

It warms my heart to see a library user take the time to inform others about the services libraries offer. It just reminds me of something my mom always says: If you don't ask, you don't get!

Libraries are *the* best and Librarians should be feted across the land on a daily (ok, weekly) basis! I was a too tall, too fat, abused HSP kid who had *no* idea she was or could be special until a librarian showed me differently. She taught me that rules *can* be broken, for very special people, like me. Bless her heart! She created the basis for the person I am today. My library's main page has a widget where you can see the amount of money you would have spent on books, CDs, DVDs, etc., in a month - last month mine was $904.00. No way I could afford that in "real" life. Thanks for the good words about libraries and librarians! Bless You Grace Bless You!
