OH. MY. GOSH.
Can I tell you how fantastic Public Libraries are here in Eutaw, land of Zion???
Everything is automated. And online accessible.
Once you obtain a card... everything is slicker than snot on a doornob.
Maybe public libraries are like that everywhere now.. I have no idea.
Well.
Everywhere but Kansas and Germany. That I DO know.
The two youngest got their first library card today... and they are both so proud of it they did the party dance. Much to the chagrin of the whisper-nazi. They have been pretending they're credit cards... which---since the library has a card scanner that's creditcard-like--is only natural.
Simple Pleasures.
