   In the spring you appeared to be about two weeks behind us. Now you appear to be two weeks ahead.
   I didn’t even see you come by.

   Speaking as a professional librarian, I’m pleased to see you making use of your local library.

   Libraries are one of the best “freebies” in America, don’t you think?

   PS I read The Name of the Rose two years ago but still haven’t read a good translation of the following that relates the literary meaning in the novel:

   “stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus”

   No Wiki cheating, anyone!

   I’ll contact “Cathy of Alex”, she’ll know, being a professional librarian.

   I don’t like libraries because I don’t like having to give the books back.

   I wish libraries would look like they used to.
   The modern library look – extreme utilitarian decorated with construction paper cutouts – really turns me off.

   I hear ya on those interlibrary loans. At GSU we can get books from all over the world. It is going to come in handy when I start writing my thesis.

   Libraries are at their best when they have a coffee shop attached as my local (Sydney suburb) library does.

   Father, as a professional librarian, my heart is warmed by your public praise of your library!

   It looks like you have a few librarians among your readers/commentors. You see, we appreciate you, too! :)
