Library Resources

I have lots of praise for our library systems. I have always loved to read and remember patronizing the library even as a young child. I never realized how much help the library could be until recently when I had computer troubles.

I posted a while back about having to go to the library to use a computer. Well, now I have my computer back and it's working really well. I'm determined to learn more about computers and to learn to build a better web site. (mine really is pretty pitiful technically.)

I've read 4 computer books already! Now, our city wide library system is having a Friends of the Library book sale and we went yesterday. I picked up 12 computer books for $20. I'm really glad to get them. I didn't buy anything outdated. Oh, my husband bought a Windows 98 book because we have an old computer with 98 on it. He wants to tinker around with it, I think.

We have a small library in our little town but I usually go into the city because there is a Panera Bread restaurant right next door.

If you don't use your library, I'd highly recommend it. My grumpy husband has even enjoyed going and reading automotive repair books.

I hope my post isn't boring but I'm really excited about my book purchases.

Wow what a deal you got. I don't use the library enough. I wish they were open Sunday's so I could have access to them. Thanks for the suggestion as I think this is an overlooked resource. Keep on reading and good luck with the website. I'll bet it really isn't "pitiful".

The library here is open on Sunday, just shorter hours. I really do need to learn a lot more about these computers and web building. When I run a check on my site it comes up with tons of errors. lol. I usually don't even understand what the error is. Guess I'll be studying a lot.

It would be great too, if I could remember the stuff I learn. lol. Oh well, trying to learn new stuff is supposed to help ward off the Alzheimer's disease which is rampant in my family.

Hope you get to visit the library soon. I think it's a calming place as well as a great resource.

hi susan.i very much agree with you about the library.....very calming......i don't use it enough though and after reading your posts i think i'll visit soon

Thank you for your reply, Julia. I need a trip to the library tonight myself............for the calming quality.

susan....maybe we should have become old fuddy duddy librarians????????lol

I replied to you again but the site must have eaten it. lol I said.........we could be librarians but never fuddy duddies. We're both too cool for that!

The site eat posts! Preposterous!

I used to hang out at the library all the time! I would love to be able to go to the library often, again..but the parking (yes, even handicapped spots) are way away from the buildings now (counter terrorism efforts?) that I just cannot walk in TO the library and IN the library the same day!

Read a book for me, Ozzie! (But you could find the code info on the net?)

I love the library and go often...ours is very nice and I get a lot of best sellers ..even if I have to go through interloan

Yep, the site ate my post! Sorry you can't go to the library anymore. I'll try to learn some stuff and pass it on to you. How's that for sharing?

I don't know what interloan is?? Hey, you. Hope you are healing well. Good to see ya back online.

OH OZZIE...interloan rocks...say your library doesnt HAVE the book you want/need....you can ask them to interloan it..I have had some come to my library from all over my state and even out of state....Its cool esp when you live in a small town or want some book that not ALL librarys will carry

and thanks I am soon off to read and just kick back

That's pretty cool. I knew we could get books from other city library branches but didn't know about the interloan. Thanks for the info.

Hope you had a restful time reading and kicking back.

Youre welcome....and yeah I did....today I was a lot busier..now I am again kicking back...BTW I also love to read the mags at the library..tis free and at almost 4-5 dollars a mag it saves me mucho bucks...and at my library we have......an easy chair ..

I really like hanging out at the library too. We have easy chairs and lots of magazines. They have lots of computers to use too.

Are you still taking it easy? Don't over do anything.

Yeah we have a lot of puters too..some for kids only ...nice and safe...I like it...in fact its better than Barnes and Nobel cause its quiet and less busy
