One of the first places we visited was the library. I was excited to see what the library looked like. \u00a0The room was beautiful with comfortable seating. I was pleased to see the beautiful Rockettes costumes. This was a surprised for me and I\u2019m a big fan of the Rockettes! To see the stunning costumes really wowed me. But the library lacked something\u2026BOOKS! As you can see in the picture, there are beautiful costumes and a few books sitting on the shelf to the right. That\u2019s pretty much what the entire library looked like, a couple costumes on display and a few books next to them. As a librarian, this was very disappointing and a little lame especially since we were on the boat for three days until we got to our destination.<a href=\"https:\/\/inalj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Cruise-Ship-Library.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-45652 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/inalj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Cruise-Ship-Library-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"Cruise Ship Library\" width=\"180\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inalj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Cruise-Ship-Library-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inalj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Cruise-Ship-Library.jpg 373w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This particular boat had been sailing for about a year so I did take that into consideration. Maybe they are building a little collection? I noticed that almost everywhere I looked during my cruise I saw people reading and there is a demand for books so you would think the library would be more robust. They did have a small book exchange during the cruise where you could leave any books you didn\u2019t want out on a table for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>The cruise line was offering e-readers for three dollars a day. You could purchase books for the regular fee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Jennifer Crutchfield, former Head Editor, INALJ Connecticutpreviously published 10\/31\/13 Where are the Books?
