Books on shelves, tables and chairs have surrounded me in adult life. I had minimal books while growing up as the money was not there to purchase many children’s books. My first adventure at reading books beyond those in school were to be found in what was "The Kraft Library" located on Jefferson Street near the Christian Church on Madison Street and the Presbyterian Church on Jeffer- son St. Three of my favorite places in Red Bluff, provided something to read. The librarian at the Kraft Library was a little grouchy, the reason being that she wanted children to read acceptable books and she let us know as we were checking them out. She admonished that we had better bring them back on time and she sure hoped our parents agreed to our selection. Once in a while she smiled but most of the time she held a stern looks on her face. In spit of her dour facial look, children still entered the library doors searching for a good book. When I was in high school, I worked in the Tehama County Library, and then located in the basement of the Tehama County Court House. Miss Lillian Nesbit was the librarian in those days. She too, was stern; I believe she had previously been in the Navy. She was a good teacher and believed that you had to repeat the job assigned to you until you knew it inside and out. During my employment there I learned to crease down every page of every new book so that the pages could be turned carefully to read them. I was also assigned to file down the uneven edges of the pages of new books before they were marked and put on the shelves. I followed her instructions to the "T". When books were damaged by users tearing the bottom of the page as they turned it, those books were delivered to my repair table. The repair was as follows; trim a strip of white paper wide enough and long enough to lie on top of the book’s torn area, brush white, thinned glue to the back of the strip and smooth it ever so carefully over the torn area. In the basement work room, I spent many hours repairing books, looking up at my barred window of the room to gaze at the Tehama County Jail which was then located just beyond the court house. In order to ignore the jail I occasionally took to reading parts of various books on my break time. It was then that I realized that this library made some books available for me to read, as opposed to the librarian at the Kraft Library who loudly suggested that I not read "that kind of book." Either Miss Nesbit pre- tended to ignore my selections or she thought a teen ager was old enough to read a few advanced books, such as the one about the notorious, "Lola Mon- tez," a lady who lived early times in Grass Valley California. It was a pret- ty fascinating book to me in those days. Carolyn Barber stare. Why did I do it? Because by doing it I got to read an awful lot of questionable books and I made 52 cents an hour working at the Tehama County Library. Times are now in the subject of change regard- ing the old fashioned way of reading. Yes, we now have the modern, "Nook, Look, Cook, Book, or the "Kindle, Spindle, Dwindle, Bindle," process of procur- ing words by holding only one carrier of books. These new books will not need to be repaired with paper and glue, sanded on the edges, and will not know require librarians. We will have to learn how to snuggle down with a Nook or a Kindle instead of a paper bound book. By the way, even if I get one of those new fangled porta books, I am planning to keep my fairly laded book shelves. bed, head," “Little Miss Blossom jumped into “She pulled the covers up over her The above excerpt was from the In case anyone is interested, I have to confess that I still crease down the page of every book I read so that the pages remain open while I loose myself in the fascinating stories of today. I have noticed a large number of people staring at me as I perform this process. Not one has asked my why I do it but they give me a questioning first children’s book I received as a child, I still have it. The book is absent its front page, the pages are all tied together with pink embroider thread. When I am frustrated and tired, I read the long ago children’s book and snuggle into a nap, my book comforts me and I don’t even have to make sure that a battery with- in it will allow me to read the story.
