And yes I agree–libraries soothe us on a level that few things can. As writers, we have an extrordinary bond with books and places that encourage reading. It just feels good to be in a library.

But there is something about the description of a library that soothes and comforts me above all. And Marcia is right — the taste and smell of a pencil, and the feel of the slick coolness of the paint against your lips as you click it against your teeth — does evoke all five senses. Lovely work.

Thanks for helping me deal with the “Show vs. tell” part of my memoir about our life in Belize.

I have a rather long library scene in one of my older WIPs. This makes me want to pull that up and play with it!

I have to second the pencil- and ink-in-mouth tastes. Putting anything in the mouth, food or otherwise, has the potential to evoke all five senses — taste, smell, touch and sound (crunching, tonguing, teeth clicking on the object, etc.)and sight.

And great setting for kids. I especially love the taste section. How perfect is that. Pencil in mouth. nice!
