Bernie's book bank

On Saturday, I volunteered at Bernie's book bank for two hours. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by a man, and he was directed me to an area towards the back. He was very helpful, and my job was to pack the books into bags. It was a great experience because I got to see the amount of people that were volunteering at this facility. There were many mothers who had brought their young children to help out. It was amazing that they were teaching their children to give back at such a young age. Everybody was so friendly, and it was amazing how much it felt like I was part of a community. I never knew how many people were willing to donate their books to people and schools that weren't as fortunate. I felt very nostalgic because of all of the old books I was seeing. While I was bagging the books, there was one book that caught my eye. It was called, "Goodnight iPad!" This book was a parody for the old book, from my childhood, called "Goodnight moon!" It was amazing to see how much society had been changed to revolved around electronics and technology that they would replace a children's book about a moon and center it around something as superficial as an iPad.
