Afternoon everyone!

Welcome to a brand-new Library #1 Haul!

Library #1 is open again after two months (limited with rules and a route throughout the library) and since I read my last book from the library on Thursday evening, I thought it was high time to visit again. My anxiety rose though, but my hubby convinced me I should just go outside. To just try it. And I can honestly say I am delighted I tried it, it did bring my mind away from everything going on at the moment.

I am also glad that gloves are allowed at the library due to my eczema which is flaring up at my hands, which means disinfectant (which is mandatory) = death to my hands. I was a bit worried they may say no, but thankfully they said yes.

It was such a delight to be back to Library #1 again and be able to walk around the bookshelves, it has been a bit over 2 months. I am not counting the mini library as you could only step in like 2 metres of the library before going back outside again. I took my time soaking up the feeling of being at this library. I probably won’t visit again for a few weeks. It will be a while before I can comfortably go to the library each week again. This trip alone took all my energy.

Oh, before I talk about what books I got, Library #2 and #3 are also opening up this month. Next week I am hoping to visit #3 with my hubby and at the end of the month Library #2 will also open. Look forward to Library Haul posts for those libraries as well when I go. I will keep you posted on Twitter when I visit the libraries again after that as I am not going to be visiting each week (or in Library #3’s case each 3 weeks). As long as there is no vaccine + with my mental health as it is, I don’t think it is safe to do this often.

Now let’s go to my Library #1 haul! I had fun putting books in my basket and found some great books, including a new Real Pigeons book + a book that was just released and I was hoping Library #1 would have it.

Stats: 8 books. 8 fiction.
