I love the library. I love it so much I could visit it every day. One day I will have my own library. I have asked Dave for a library in our next house about 1 million times. When I was 20, I sketched a picture of how my library should look (I still have the sketch). I am now about to turn 33 and I don't have that library yet. One day....with the Camaro...
My favorite thing these days is putting books on hold from home. I get on the library catalog from home, place books on hold, and pick them up when I have time. Awesome!!!!!! Tonight I just piled the dogs in the car for a little family trip to the library, quickly picked up my books on hold, and drove home ready to snuggle and read!
I don't buy books...unless they are really great. They have to earn a place in my collection. Why buy when something called a public library exists? Unless you are great- then I will categorize and alphabetize you in your own little section for display and reference.
And tonight, I thought I had found the solution to the Kindle I received for Christmas. Since I don't buy a lot of paper books, I REALLY have a hard time considering buying....e books? I can't fill the shelves of my library with e books!!! But guess what! You can borrow e-books from the public library!! Oh yes!!! Now I can have the library accessible to me at all times!
Oh no. Apparently you can only rent e-books on things like the Android and other gadgets I don't have and don't ever care to have. Not the Kindle. Nope.
SHOOT!!!! So, the Kindle is still just sitting there with the only two free books on it I would care to have in my collection. The Count of Monte Christo and The Scarlet Letter. I cannot seem to find any free e-books on Amazon worth anything. Dern it!!!
And that is why libraries are cool and we don't need all of this "technology."

I have the Kindle as well and was so disappointed you couldn't use it at the library. I use it because David bought it for me but I really don't enjoy reading on it as much as I like reading real books.
