    I am also a public library supporter. I believe that librarian's twin must work for the Royal Oak branch. Also, I'm embarrassed on your behalf that you had to borrow T.S. Eliot, and do not own his complete works.

    It might be the same woman, moonlighting at the Royal Oak library when the Bowen Branch is closed.

    I /did/ own Eliot's complete works, but loaned them to someone for a Hillsdale class and never saw them again. I believe you commented on the weakness of my Eliot collection when you unpacked my books, and even suggested you could help remedy that prior to your NYC departure.

    Wow. Renewing online would have been good. ;-)

    Funny...There just not use to people actually have a desire to rack up charges...most people us the library for free. As for me I just fall in love with books and I'm not organized. For future reference the library does take donations too ; )

    ...Funny post, I will be back.

    Dean -- I do this too, although not with intentionality. :)
