I’m In!

I attempted to get a library card the first week I arrived in St. Louis in a desperate attempt to use their Internet. I was turned away because I didn’t have any proof of my new address . Fortunately, my birthday came and my loved ones sent me cards (proof that I exist in St. Louis)! That was a few weeks ago, and we got Internet soon after…today, I finally got around to going back to get my card. 

I’m in with the in crowd now! Well, me and the bum napping in the periodicals section are! I spent a few hours out of the house working at the library. It was a nice change of pace. 

I also checked out the dvd selection. I’m not about to go to Blockbuster to spend a ton of cash on renting movies and I don’t want to feel obligated to watch movies becaues I have a Netflix subscription, so FREE movies it is! I got a couple yoga dvds and parts of the series Freaks and Geeks! (note: the St. Louis library does NOT rent out whole seasons, each disc is rented seperately…I know, LAME…I was spoiled at the Barrington Library!) 

I’m excited to use my card now and visit the other branches. Hopefully, there’s a branch with a larger dvd selection…I will have to do some exploring! Plus, I’m going to be able to request materials! YIPPIE! I already have a list of books and other things in mind! Catalogue search…here I come!
