> We built our own library in the county I used to live in.  

 

One of my favorite books, ".And Ladies of the Club" is based on 'getting 
literary and staying that way' - from donated books and repaired 'free' 
space, to eventually having the county support a library.  The book follows 
the lives of two young women who are graduating that day (in 1868) throughout 
their lives, along with a couple dozen others who make up the "Club". I 
didn't realize until the second or third reading (great story !!) that the 
author could have gone on for several hundred more pages but stopped with 
grandchildren when the original protagonists (who were the youngest in the 
"Club") had both grown old, died, and been buried.
