Getting lost in reading

The library isn't technically open, but a few of my student librarians asked to come up, and as they had done me a favour the day before I agreed.

A year 8 boy came up, browsed the shelves for 5 minutes, chose one and sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall. He passed up my beanbags and sofas, and even the normal working chairs, but I can understand that need to just sit with the book, where you discovered it.

He stayed there all lunch, I even forgot he was there.

It's so wonderful seeing students get lost in a book like that.
