Ames Library Notes: To hear the story told Tracy Briseño, Ames Public Library Special to the Ames Tribune I love to read books. I love having old favorites lined up on a shelf ready to open. I love the feel of the paper and the fun of using a special bookmark to mark my progress. I love being able to lend a favorite to a friend. I also love e-books. I enjoy having a selection of items ready to read depending on my whim. I love the convenience of reading while eating with my phone propped up. I love being able to check out the next book in the series from the library at 11 p.m. when I must know what happens next.
