The size of libraries

A basic question about a library is not how tall it is or how much it weighs but how many volumes it has.  When Lynn got the job of being the school librarian for a new school, the answer was none.  Happily, another school librarian had already ordered a basic selection of books for that new elementary school.


I have more Kindle e-books than I have old form books printed on paper.  One of the main advantages of Kindle books is that they are just about weight-free and they take up no space.  They are usually lower priced than books with paper pages. So, I have more of them than I have ever had of paper books.  I have many Kindle books that have been paid for and downloaded but never read.  I am guessing that I should keep going over what I already have before getting more.  When I include the idea of re-reading what I deeply enjoyed or have never read, I think it is possible that there are no more Kindle book purchases for me.
