‘Owhwhe: Hoopa’s Public Library Has More Than Just Books

There are many aspects of reading books that appeal to me. Books engage all the senses, except for taste (unless of course the reading is of cook books…). There is often beautiful cover art to see. With picture books for youngers, the visual art can be quite stunning through all the pages. A peculiar trait of mine is that I enjoy the sound of the turning page or the tiny thrill of ruffling the pages rapidly. Books have a particular heft and feel as they are handled which adds to the resonant sound of a closing volume.
