"What is more important in a librarythan anything else
-than everything else-
is the fact that it exists."
~Archibald MacLeish,

American Scholar, 5 June 1972
I couldn't agree more.
10 Things I Love About The Library1. There are thousands of free books.
2. There are thousands of free movies.
3. I can sit and read for hours and hours at a time
in one of their comfy chairs and won't be told to get out.
(Like at some bookstores. Ahem.)
4. I can log in to my personal account and browse through the
catalogs of over 14 libraries here in Ventura County,
and then proceed to put as many things I want to on hold.
I will then receive an email when these things are ready to be picked up.
I walk in, find my name on the shelf, and check out
the books/movies in a matter of seconds.
5. The late fee is $.20 a day. Beat that Hollywood Video.
6. The new Camarillo Library is beautiful, comfortable, and so accessible.
7. It's 5 minutes from my house.
8. I can go anytime I want from 10 am to 9 pm every day.
9. I just got an email that the second season of Lost is ready for me to pick up.
10. I have 3 weeks to return it and can renew it so I can have it for a month and a half.
I love the library.
