    I bought very few books when the girls were young. We went to the library. And nobody bought books when I was young either. I went to the library.
    It was what we did, Helen said. It was a habit, a ritual. You borrowed it, you read it, you brought it back and chose something else, and someone else read whatever you read after and before you. It was communal. That’s what public library means: something communal.
