As someone who has worked in libraries since I was 15 years old, I have witnessed many changes in the way that books are checked out and in. When I first started, we had a machine that took pictures of book cards and date due cards together. The book cards were located in library pockets at the back of the book. These are now almost obsolete with the advent of computers and barcodes so when I found these blank library pocket books, I snatched them up and added my own creativity to them. This is my entry for this week's The Three Muses challenge.To thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such wonderful comments for me, I'm having a giveaway. Check out my posting here and leave me a comment to be entered into my draw.

Your library pockets are beautiful and your memories of how libraries used to be gave me a feeling of nostalgia tinged with sadness that today it is all about computers and barcodes. There was a special "something" about the librarian sliding the card into the pocket and the excitement at knowing that the book was mine, at least for two weeks! Ah, they were the days.
Wow, these pockets and cards are sooo lovely!! How creative!!
