Orange County Public Libraries
On the way home today, I stopped by one of the Orange County Public Libraries and learned a few things about how they work (and that the books I most wanted weren't in any of them). Then, I noticed the time and rushed home without getting anything (not even a library card), since I realized I was already late to our meeting with the contractor doing our master bath. I should have known better than to try to squeeze in a visit to a new fun book location. I can't get in and out of a Borders that quickly...
Anyway, when I got home, I checked out the Orange County Public Libraries
website. I'm in book heaven right now. I can look up
everything that I can look up at the library online at home.
Yippee!! Definitely going to be spending a bit less money on books. Also, I found out that there is a library even closer to work (still on my way home) that has most of the books I'm interested in! And, the best part is that once I get a library card and can have a pin number, etc. you can even renew your books online! This is so cool. It's like I found book nerd heaven.
The last time I went to a library for a book that I
wanted to read was in high school sometime. It was very convenient (right across the street from my high school), and it's one of those places I knew from the time we moved to Upper St. Clair. But, I hadn't been to one since then for anything other than required reading materials in college and that's so wrong.
Although I still definitely love
BookCrossing, and will still use it from time to time, I am very happy to have found a way to read so many of the books that I want to read, but don't need to own. If I decide I want to own them later, I can always buy them then.
I'm so excited! After I read the book I'll start tomorrow, I definitely have to check out the closest library to me!
