Lack of books in local library
Posted: Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:25 pm
Maybe I'm just now realizing this because I'm new to my path. I've been reading online, books that I have bought, etc. Today when I scoured our local library, I found hundreds of books on christianity and ONE book of pagan/wicca. And that one book could not be checked out of the library! My husband suggested writing to publishers of these books and suggest donations be made to small town libraries. I was offended. Then I realized there were no other religions represented either, just christianity.
Truly I felt kind of alone, looking at that single book & even more so when I felt the librarian give me 'the look' when I asked if there were any books I could check out. Then I remembered the little blessing I was shown this week. Two large ravens sat down in the road right in front of my car, doing a little back & forth dance with each other. A coyote played beside the parking lot one afternoon while I took my break. And just days ago, 3 deer ate peacefully 20 feet from my car, while I loaded it up...and just watched me. I guess to most, those incidents would be meaningless. To me they meant the world.
Anyone else seen the lack of books, information in public libraries? Anyone ever have a successful outcome?
