Aug. 27, 2009 - Sitting in a Library and I have no Card
Here I sit in the public library. I have often seen people who bring laptops to the library, or use the computers that most libraries offer, but I have never before been one of them. However, after some recent internet troubles, we had to resort to using the internet at one of our all time favorite locations. The Library.
It's a funny thing that as I sit here, I don't even have a library card. In order to obtain one, you have to show the librarian either a bill or a drivers license that prove that you live in the area. We have neither as of yet. We only moved into our house last Sunday, and we haven't had a chance to get Kentucky drivers licenses.
My Mother said, aptly, "Very strange being surrounded by books and not being allowed to check any of them out because we still don't have library cards! It's very painful actually." I totally agree.
I suppose, eventually, we will acquire the much desired Card of Library Access. I just wanted to pout about not having it NOW!

Dear Miss Eyebright,
Can I pout, too :)? I am convinced that everyone has a better library than the one we have had for the last year. We cannot have an all access library card for our family unless we pay eighty dollars. The reason? We live in the country. *SIGH* I never thought it would be possible but I have learned to live without a library. I still really miss our old library though...it was "perfect".
Your friend,
Alyssa

Oh, I hope you're able to get a library card soon! That must be frustrating. :P
I don't mind you asking at all -- I'm taking online classes from Valley City State University. As of this first week, I'm enjoying it. All of the classes I'm taking are music related, but they seem to have experience in doing online courses. I love that online classes let me get a college education while still being able to stay with my family. It's a blessing. :)
Hope you're having a wonderful day!

That would be hard! I'm surprised that they require so much. I think our library would grant anyone a card.

How tragic...first you have to use the computer at the library and then you can't check out the books! It's like dropping your ice cream cone and then having to stand in the ice cream parlor the rest of the afternoon....
I too have wondered what it would be like to bring a laptop to the library and just relax amidst books...
