Book lovers at the grand opening of the renovated Crown Center library

Today I'm musing about the Grand Reopening of our
Crown Center library, after it was renovated.
I wore my sweatshirt that says "I can't.  I'm booked."
They gave out bookmarks which say:

Book  Lover,  n.

A    person   known    for
traveling     to      distant
worlds  without  leaving
their seat, forming deep
emotional   bonds   with
fictional characters, and
saying   "just   one   more
chapter"    until     3 a.m.
Often    spotted   with    a
book  in  hand,  a  cup  of
coffee   nearby,   and   an 
ever-growing  to-be-read
pile they swear they'll get
to  someday. For  a  book
lover,    bookmarks    are
essential,    spoilers    are
crimes,  and  the  phrase
"t o o    m a n y    b o o k s"
simply      doesn't     exist.

At the end of the celebration, we all had refreshments.
Some of us sat around and talked for another hour or so.
