New Library

On the way home from running some errands the other day we made a very important stop - at the library. I’m so thrilled to be back in a good library system again. I loved the Toronto Public Library. Loved it! And while the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec was much better than I [...]

Library Loot

Have I mentioned that I’m really happy to be going to a library again? Even if it is mostly French? I did? Mkay, just making sure.
Why is it that when I have a, to me, normal stack of books in my arms I get weird looks? I mean, I’m in a LIBRARY for crying out [...]

Culled

Yesterday I went through my library request list and culled it.  Gone were books that I don’t even remember adding to my list.  Gone were the GG nominees because I was so uninterested in them I already returned two of them to the library unread.
So my request list really does contain thing that I really [...]

I wonder if I could…

For the last couple of months I have not been doing well at reading my library books.  This makes me feel guilty because most of the books that I do take out I request.  I also feel bad returning requested books unread.
So I’ve actually been seriously thinking about *not* adding any books to my request [...]

Today was a library day

It also happened to be a totally gorgeous day outside.  I had to go for a walk. Where better to go than the library?
Waiting for me today was Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I’ve been reading so much about this and the sequel in the last month that I had to pick it up.
