Small-town life now appeals to this 40-something library lady. Grew up in a small town, went to the big city, moved south after becoming disillusioned by said big city and by years of midwestern winters. Married to a wonderful man, himself a voracious reader, for over 8 years.

In a nutshell, love my job,... more »

    Hi,

    It looks like we have a few books in common, both like historicals, and I'm a "library lady" too. If you're interested, stop by and check out my Historical Romances group. Among other things I have a quizzes post and an "Upcoming Releases" post.

    I am taking Abnormal Psychology and English Lit. and Composition. I am attending Aiken Technical College working on ans A.A., and hopefully will transfer to University of South Carolina-Aiken later on. My library just announced that they will be closed on Sundays, but are extending hours on Saturdays. Our library is open 10am-6pm M,W,F,Sa and 10am-9pm Tu, Th.- so we still have really good coverage. Our library system serves 150,000 people. My mom lives in rural Georgia and her library is down to 3 days per week, and some small counties are even having to close down all together, which is tragic.

    Hey! it's been a while- how are things in NC.? I just started back to school recently and my time for leisure reading has been limited. I am halfway through the book and it is pretty decent so far- good reading, but the subject matter is very disturbing.

    I shake my head when I think about the decay responsibility in the next and future generations. Hey, interestingly enough that's what Lord of the Flies is about, at least in part ;)

    In our impatient, "fast food" society, why should they, when they can just see the movie?

    Hi. Yepp, just finished it a few days ago. I likeed the fact that the Phantom, when shown love and compassion from Christene, set her free to marry whomever she chose. The opera house, five basements, underground lake and house, secret passages, trap doors, &etc added nicely to the atmosphere ;)

    What's new with you? I am reading EAST OF EDEN by Steinbeck for the second time. I am heading over to see my mom in the North Georgia mountains next week and plan on packing some Michener and Dostoyevsky. I have been reading some of the beat poets and also Pablo Neruda- his verse is beautiful. Have you been reading anything worth mentioning? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Jason R.

    They just got their new budget and a fairly generous allotment from the county which gave them some purchasing power. I am really impressed at how the collection of DVD's: documentaries, new movies, old movies, and full seasons of selected television series has grown over the past couple of years. we have a fairly large public library for our size of town- approx. 30,000 residents. It is located in an old, renovated elementary school building that was built in 1890. It has been the library building since (I think) 1991. Very picturesque.

    I usually volunteer 3-4 days a weeks for a few hours. I just got back in from there, as a matter of fact. What are some of the more popular fiction books at your library currently?

    I will keep my fingers crossed, and though I don't know what your religious leanings are- I will say a prayer, too!

    Thanks for dropping by- I am just finishing up THE LIFE OF PI- a charming little book. I am going to start AT CLOSE RANGE by Annie Proulx next- I really liked THE SHIPPING NEWS and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. How are things at the library? What are you reading these days? I hope all is well.
