18. I can do that, too

There is a large library about 25 miles from my town and I ordered a book from there once. It came and inside was a bill for $3.95 for postage. When I returned it I wrote on the back of the bill that they should consider using some of their staff, who I know travel back and forth almost every day, to just bring the books with them. Don't know if they took that to heart or not. In the past year I have donated dozens of books and DVDs to the library, including the entire Harry Potter collection, so I feel I've paid for the privilege of having a few books delivered. But, this is what life is like under Repub gov't. Even though I pay property taxes to support the library.

I don't drive, otherwise I'd just go to the bigger library. And I gave up TV ten years ago. I only have an old set to watch DVD movies. I am eternally grateful for public libraries and am so happy that mine really offers a lot for children.



Thank you for being here. So, what are YOU reading this week?
