IO: I luvvvv the library

[BluRmGrl]

I've always been a reader, but working two jobs has taken a good bit of my leisure time, so for the past year or so I've not been reading nearly as much as I used to.

However, the location of my new day job that I started last month is only a mile from one of our library's branches! And since I'm too far from my house to go home for lunch now, I have my lunch break to read. I've gone through 5 books in the last 2 weeks alone & I'll finish up the 6th this week.

I just love rambling among the shelves and shelves of books.... fiction, non-fiction, whatever - doesn't matter to me. It's a good thing I don't work downtown near the main library, 'cause I could wander around in there for days!!!

Anybody else feeling some Library Love with me??

 

[the soul waits]

Love reading, but have completely forgot about the concept of libraries since my student days. I'm buyin the suckers now.

Thanks for the reminder happy reading!!

[Adam'sbaby]

I love reading too. I've spent a lot of time in our local library. I think libraries are so quiet and peaceful.

 

[tiny dancer]

I love to read, but our local library sucks. They never seem to have current books.

I went to my library this weekend but they were closed.


Which led me to buying the new Harry Potter.

Libraries and people who work in them

 

[zumanity42]

my local branch has a very good music section. even better is the fact they transfer material between branches. no need to run all over to pick up your orders.

 

[zumanity42]

besides who else is going to give you 'The Known World', the new Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, and White Stripes Cds, and the fitfth season of the Sopranos for a month...for free.

 

[Sevikins]

I love how I can now hold books online and just go pick it up... they do all the work-- yesh!


Too bad they've already slashed hours in my city. It's a shame really that they can't stay open more than 5 hrs a day.

Who, me? I'm still working at the library when I'm not at the studio or here.

 

[BluRmGrl]

Mmmmm.... library love.

 

[jobob]

I just received my MLIS last month.

That's Master of Library and Information Science to you.

And I'm now looking for my first paying job as a librarian.

(when I'm not writing fanfic with a librarian in it)

I love libraries.

I love this thread.

And I'm now looking for my first paying job as a librarian.

I love libraries

well, we'll see if you feel the same after you've worked in one for a few years

 

[Bonochick]

Libraries scare me.

 

[BluRmGrl]

Libraries scare me.

WTF???

 

[Bonochick]

Librarians were mean to me as a child.

Fuckin' sadists.... let's track 'em down & beat them to death with leather-bound copies of Webster's Unabridged!!

If you did your "business" in the library, would you then consider that the "toilet"?

 

[jobob]

very nice. congrats.

I live in the Midwest. But I could move anywhere in the U.S.

You're right. We'll see if I still feel the same about libraries after my first job in one.

Librarians were mean to me as a child.

Librarians are still mean to me. The natural enemy of safety and health personnel is the librarian.

 

[Bonochick]

The local library didn't have as good of a selection as books as the one in our twin city, so I begged my parents to allow me to ride my bike into the next town...and they said yes! Oh, how overjoyed I was...it was a milestone in my young life. I threw on my backpack, hopped on my bike, and took off. I was so excited...and then those librarians were mean to me!!!!!! So snooty and uppity It scarred me for life.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I feel bad for you Bonochick

I haven't been to a library in years....but without it...I would never have discover U2 until much later
