Library Adventures: Phase 2 & 3

I know I mentioned awhile ago that I walked the whole way to the library only to find that it was closed. The next time I went, I checked the website first, and took the car to avoid a huge disappointment again. It was opened and I spent an hour or so picking out books. When I went to the checkout desk and inquired about getting a library card, I was informed that I couldn't because I have no proof that I live here. I sheepishly gave the books back and walked out the door.

Last Sunday, I walked there again, ready to spend all day there reading. I even brought a borrowed library card to bring home some books. I ended up starting 3 different books before they announced that the library was closing early and for everybody to make their final checkouts. I took my stack of books and headed up to the front. The lady scanned the library card and asked me when was the last time I used it. I said it was my mom's and they said it was expired! And I couldn't renew it without "my mom's" permission.

STRIKE THREE!
