We are looking for someone to correct the Spanish sentences. Contact me if you are interested in helping others to learn Spanish. Please help each other with corrections as you are able. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words!

2. Voy a menudo a la librería de mi vecindario. Puedo pasar horas viendo qué tesoros consigo en los pasillos.
I go to my neighborhood bookstore often. I can spend hours seeing what treasures I can find in the aisles.
Notes:
1.The "a" may be short, but it's an important word in this case. Without it, "menudo" is an adjective meaning "small" or "slight".
