Library – Life in the Nest

The Library Book Sale!

I once heard that everyone is their own brand of nerd: people who are the best at math are math nerds; people who are into sports are sports nerds; those completely submerged in their own world of art are artistic nerds; and those who know everything about food are food nerds.
