Over the last few weeks, we have been talking about giving books as gifts throughout the year. When I spoke at an in-person event recently, I suggested as an example that people who use the library to read books should consider giving books as presents, and there were a lot of nodding heads acknowledging this as a good idea. I am going to take this one step further. Buy the books you love and give them as gifts, and do not wait until the holidays at the end of the year to do this.
