She seemed nearly giddy about it, like it was the neatest thing since sliced bread. I mean, it was neat and all, but I wasn't giddy. Just pleasantly surprised. <BR/><BR/>My loving library ladies are the ones from the college one, not the public one. Those college library ladies even loved me before I was a college student! That's love. There's only one nice lady at the public library and she's the children's librarian. She's so sweet and soft-spoken and the kids just think she's the cat's meow. But everyone else is related to your Cerberus. I'm sure of it.Redneck Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506685036989431733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418275174371898447.post-51248886359817205972007-06-20T17:23:00.000-05:002007-06-20T17:23:00.000-05:00Meanie,That's a lot of fines.

Or Meanie. <BR/><BR/>Lantern,<BR/>I do, during school. But nobody can check out any books in the summer. Or for the first two weeks of school. Or the last two weeks of school. And they don't have a good selection of books that I like. But I do check them out for my kids.<BR/><BR/>That old grayhair was frightening. I bet she cooks kitten-eye soup for supper.

I don't think you have to pay any fees for living out of town. You just have to live in the county...or maybe just the state. I'm not sure. The ladies in the library at my junior college were much like your Cerberus. That pisses me off that she berated a gray haired crony in front of people for not being sure what to do with a computer. Crony's probably just an old widow who's trying to make a dollar, or find something pleasant to do with her dwindling time.<BR/><BR/>I too recently went to my library for the first time in a long time. Last Friday for some reason I decided to go take care of my paperwork at the school district's office right smack dab in the middle of lunch hour. Since nobody was there, I went to the public library to kill some time. I usually go to USM's library because they don't charge late fees, but I think the public one is better. I had to pay a huge fine for late books, and a dollar for a new card. (Hey, if I'm not responsible to turn books in before I accumulate $35 in fines, what makes you think I can keep up with a card!?)<BR/><BR/>I got a couple of books on marine life. I thought perhaps I could identify the swimming suit invaders. No luck. There are too many different things that might possibly crawl into your underwear and die for me to ever identify who the culprit was.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for hijacking.<BR/><BR/>Not really though.Mommy Needs a Xanaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807707012305893563noreply@blogger.com
