start using the library

I borrowed some dvds, a video, and several cds from the library yesterday. I was so proud of myself! Unfortunately, they were all from the library in my little hometown because the library near me doesn’t loan out dvds, videos, or music cds. So, I’m not sure that this is a sustainable accomplishment. I don’t understand it—I live in a huge, wealthy county and they don’t have nearly as much in their libraries as little tiny Cheesetown. What’s wrong with this picture? If I lived in this area, I’m sure I’d use the library all the time. Oh well, I’m enjoying it for now. We’ll see what happens when I get back.

I went to Borders again today and got two more items: a book and a new calendar. =( It is like an addiction for me - I LOVE getting new books! However, I DID go online and check to see if my library had the book I wanted before I went. They did NOT - so what’s a gal to do? Besides, the things I bought are directly related to two of my goals—a book on organizing (conquer clutter goal) and another word-a-day calendar (the first one I bought I’m finding that I already know most of the words)... But I’m going to keep checking with the library before I purchase any new books in the future.
