Any time I do have to pay a fine to the library I try to think of it as a "donation" to a place that gives me so much for free...that makes me feel better about it.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-54629827683732784032013-02-15T13:53:51.272-07:002013-02-15T13:53:51.272-07:00See and that story really illustrates the importan...See and that story really illustrates the importance of such services. Everyone should have access to books...and lots of them! And the library can be such a sanctuary...a quiet, helpful place to spend your time without it costing you a thing.<br /><br />How big is your hometown?BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-26448678421523036952013-02-15T11:36:43.303-07:002013-02-15T11:36:43.303-07:00No library fines on the bookmobile.

I lived out in the country and in the summer I literally LIVED for the times I could access books. The Bookmobile came once a week and parked at the family store so I was able to use it. Later when I was old enough I could go to town with my father for the afternoon and stay at the library until he left for home. This was in incredible service and still is for the rural areas.
