How I Spent My Extra 10 Bucks: Week 2
Thursday, April 16, 2009
My local library is awesome. It's big, it's well-stocked, it's actually open past sundown several days per week, and it's part of a huge cooperative so my card is good for lending at nearly every other public library in the surrounding area. It also sponsors fun bus trips to Broadway shows (a time-honored tradition throughout the north Jersey suburbs). My one complaint is that its book renewals max out at eight weeks, which isn't nearly long enough for a slow reader like me. Then again, maybe if I didn't check out 10 books at a time, that wouldn't be such an issue...
Anyway, as a librarian, a library patron, and an English major, I figured a $10 donation was the least I could do to support a place, a concept, and a career choice that is quite awesome indeed. And I also didn't want to fall into a pattern where I end up spending my $10 on food every week. (Speaking of which, libraries have awesome cookbook collections! Check it out!) Viva la biblioteca!
