The public library has something for almost everyone. Ours does, anyway. I love a good value for one's property tax dollar.

Why, just this weekend I passed my Technician and General class ham radio exams, having studied the license manuals available from the library.

And now it's time to move from theory to practice.

Summer Reading Club starts this week at Guelph Public Library! guelphpl.ca/.../summer-reading...

What line will you be working on completing over the next two and a half months?

I'm reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower, so when I finish it I need to decide if it counts as Fantasy or as a Book over 500 pages.

I use for other I have ecards with and it's wonderful! But my local system uses . When the change was made from to , I was ok with it. confused a lot of our patrons & it was a headache trying to explain it to them. But is just wonky. It's not bad. I guess it's user-friendly, but it's not good, you know?

Really annoying thing going on with my library…when I check out an audiobook often the files will disappear from the library’s catalog even before I’m due to return them. I’ve had this happen right in the middle of three different books recently and had to find new books to read and the selection is very limited!!
