Local libraries have their own importance. Yes, they do several activities literary oriented. Nowadays, almost every library produces
a low-cost option for community or group meetings and encourage creative writings.
Our library offers a digital library system where we can select books and they are delivered to our home. I Love that service and when I'm done, I check in online for pickup. They charge a monthly fee of 10.00 which if I was driving to and from would be that and more.
They also offer audio books, digital books and online classes.
I agree they're a valuable asset to every community. I donate a lot of my hardbound books to the library each year rather than hanging on to them.
I'm stubbornly staying in my flannel nighties, no ac and the joy of a circular fan's breeze teasing my legs for November. So far the weather is cooperating.
When my kids were small I drank it like water, so much I scared people around me, now about two a day, in the morning, and one before bed, more so in the winter than summer.
Prompt:
On this day in 1962 Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett. I've included the song to inspire your monster entry today. Write either a story or a poem about monsters, any kind you want after seeing Pickett's facial expressions you should have lots of inspiration.

My Monsters
Suddenly, when hours creep
I'm too scared and cannot weep
for his face twists in ways unknown
and his voice takes on a husky tone
I look in the mirror to see, no, it isn't him
with smiles cracked, carved with grim
but also me who grins from ear to ear
with lips curled, to hide my fear
Also, is a face with chin pulled tight
the nose a swirl of crooked fright
he puffs his cheeks, eyebrows too thin
some face he has, stretched like sin
My monsters growl, sigh, and snare
I try to look away, in despair
yet, they are not evil, but odd and free
my monsters are a part of me
When I look away, they disappear
but within my shadow, they're so near
like grief, lost hopes, bent and skewed
they keep after me, to me they are glued.
