The more I think about it, the more I need to stop playing and become a librarian. It is not normal behavior to ride past a library on your bike and squeal with delight. Seriously.

Check out this NBC news clip where 600 people showed up for a book signing from author Khaled Hosseini, best known for his international bestsellers The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.   Now with this new book, And the Mountains Echoed,he talks with Tram Mai in Phoenix.

“It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart”

Anne Frank

Anne Frank was born today in 1929. This quote is from her diary, “The Diary of a Young Girl” which was written while her family was in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. She died in 1945 and her diary was published in 1947 by her father, Otto Frank. You can get a copy of her diary at the library.
