@mcc I went down to the library a couple weeks back because it's right next to the barber shop and the barber blew through my haircut so fast I had a rare spare, unplanned hour.

You know what happened?

1) A conversation behind my head where someone was astonished you could take the books home and the card was free (seriously, if we tried to invent libraries today they'd make them illegal)

2) A local author had her book reveal and signing in the front of the library. I just wandered up and met a neighbor for the first time!

Damn, libraries are fucking sweet.
