Travelling through books



You don’t have to go far away to have new experiences.


“Not all of us can travel the whole globe, but just making travel a priority—even to a new place a day's drive away—can be eye-opening.”

You can even travel ....staying at home!

 “Reading is like travel, allowing you to exit your own life for a bit, and to come back with a renewed, even inspired, perspective.” Laurie Helgoe

Mary Schmich

Mason Cooley         







"It is not true we have only one life to live…if we can read, we can live as many lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish."   
S.I. Hayakawa
