A very clear way to define happiness is to look at where I spend my time. I can honestly say that I am physically in a a library at least once a week. I love getting audio books, reading magazines, checking the selection of music cds, reviewing the “New” book shelf and just relishing the feeling of being surrounded by so many ideas.
In addition to visiting my local libraries (yes, I have several favorites), I also check the online books and download them to my pc or other device. So, for many of the books I acquire, I don’t need to walk in a door – I just sit here and click, choose and checkout!
I think we all have places we go that make us happy. Some people visit churches, stadiums, mom’s house, stables, shopping malls, sailboats, beaches… know what I mean? For me it’s libraries.

libraries, either real or virtual are one of my favourite places to hang. Next would be bookstores. ah, books, the smell, the touch, the possibility of books.
Hi,
Libraries are so much more these days, they offer just about anything you can think of, a one stop shop. 🙂
I totally agree with you on this. The library is like a sanctuary for me. I definitely feel happy there.
Yes, always libraries. Two favorite locals, and one not too far away. Kind of like going down to the pub —
