I wanted to say thank for coming by my blog through Will Taft blog. You have some good stuff here. I love books, and don't mention the cook books. I am not a big fan of following recipes, but I generate ideas by reading cook books so I can make my own stuff. I will be definitely dropping by, not just for the cook books, lol. Thanks again, Anna :) Hi Alan, finally getting here. I wanted to say thank for coming by my blog through Will Taft blog. You have some good stuff here. I love books, and don’t mention the cook books.

I love chatting with patrons and I do it all day long. But if say you just popped in on your lunch hour and need to get in and get out being able to tap the screen, scan your card, scan your item, tap the screen and be done may be of real value to you.

How sad! Half the fun of going to the library is chatting up the librarians. Libraries exist where you never have to interact with the wonderful and always-helpful staff?? How sad!
