I love libraries, too and I read every chance I get. <br /><br />I hope to get more places, now that winter is gone and I can get on the road again. I don't care to drive too far when that white stuff is on the ground. <br /><br />Bless you and yours,<br />MarilynNew York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-85105414077895427142013-04-26T11:03:00.807-04:002013-04-26T11:03:00.807-04:00That is a wonderful reuse of the building, I love ...That is a wonderful reuse of the building, I love libraries & books! I am enjoying all the sharing you are doing on your blog. I would never get to see these places or read the true stories behind the families. I am thankful Jean is sharing also.

Some of them are Mennonite businesses. Living on Social Security, gas is a big problem with me, so I am trying to get trips where I go to several local places that are in the same area in one trip. Also, there is an Amish man that comes to one of our local Famers Markets each year. When I go to garage sales, I get canning jars and give them to him for his wife. Every year he gives me vegetables, maple syrup, etc. for the jars. This year when he asks me what I want-I will tell him I would like permission to go to his farm and take pictures of it. His wife has a store on the farm and I would like pictures of that. So I plan on getting around and getting more pictures of the area. I would like to take Jean or Martha with me on some of my trips as I found having someone Mennonite with me, opens doors for me that going by myself don't. So just a little information on what I plan in the coming months. <br />MarilynNew York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-53737250249552553662013-04-26T08:50:02.222-04:002013-04-26T08:50:02.222-04:00Hi Vickie,

When I was there it was closed, so I couldn't go in it-all I could do is peek in the windows. I tried to take pictures through the windows, but they didn't come out well at all.<br /><br />MarilynNew York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-57246296790766404552013-04-26T08:16:18.672-04:002013-04-26T08:16:18.672-04:00Oh how interesting!

I always thought that a cute little country church would make a wonderful home, but using it as a library would be a close second because I have a passion for books. My great room has a huge bookcase, full to the brim. Was the little Post Office empty? That's another cute building. <br /><br />Thank you for this story and pictures.<br />DoreenCountryside Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784726289611258835noreply@blogger.com
