And I don't find our library system all that great selection-wise either. Yet another reason I miss living in Mass.

Oddly, every time I use our library, I'm stunned by the massive number of employees in relation to the non-massive number of patrons. I sometimes feel like I'm being stalked by helpful librarians. I think they know I work at a bookstore and maybe that threatens them.
