I'm lazy

Jesse_DD · 06-20-2003

I recently found out I could order library books and have them delivered to my house. So, I ordered 10 books. They all came individually wrapped and I am guessing from several different branches. What a great service! But, what a waste of taxpayers' money.

I feel lazy. Will I keep using this service? You betcha!

But, it did take 2 weeks for the books to get to me so now I have to renew them in a week. BUT, I can do that online too - yee hawww.

Now I am going to go check to see if they have a service to pick the books up.

Can you order the books on the web?

Nice avatar, Jess ;-)

yes - I ordered them online. Orange County (FL) it seems is pretty up-to-date

Is it Bookmobile? I always thought that service was for old crippled people that couldn't drive to the library.

They are in trouble now ...

The cool thing about libraries is that they have all kinds of out of print (old and dusty) books that you can't find at Amazon. ;-)

It kinda sucks here. You have to go to certain locations to meet the driver.

Did you tell them you are handicapped or something?

Good thing I still have an old crutch. I used that and put some duck tape around my head when he came to the door.
