It’s about 7 years since I last used a library – which is strange considering how many books I get through every year! Moving to the country made it harder to get to a library and somehow I just never got round to it – until today when I decided I really MUST join.
Well, libraries have undergone a total transformation since my last visit – all for the better! It’s so easy to check your books out. No waiting in long queues while librarians stamped return dates in the front of every single book, and checked dates on all the books being returned; just scan your card and put the books in a hatch and it’s all done, boom.
And I can take out 12 books at a time! I am an avid reader, but I would struggle to read 12 books in 3 weeks, not to mention the prospect of back strain trying to carry them all.
Still, it’s a lovely library and I’m looking forward to finding lots of new treasures there.
