Libraries

We use the library a lot around this place.  Sometimes we are there two to three times a week.  Partly because it is hard to keep Emily in books, and partly because things I reserved have come available and you have to pick them up promptly otherwise they fine you for not picking them up!

The Ames is library is getting a facelift soon, this means 18+ months of having the library in a temporary location, ie. the old Hastings building next to Hobby Lobby.  I am praying it won't smell like pee like the current library. 

My one wish for the new remodeled library, besides the smell, is I wish it would have a drive up window to pick up stuff on hold!

First, I didn't hear that it will be at that location! Interesting. Also, I totally agree with a drive up window for stuff on hold. I don't think it's an actual fine that you get, just a block? Craig was told last time to just go to a check out desk and ask for the blocks to be removed. You can also suspend your holds if you're going out of town and it still keeps your place in the que (so I hear from my husband)
