I've started something new. No, not the library loot posts, but a new way to use the library. When I moved to St. Louis, I got library cards from the St. Louis County Library and from the University City Public Library. My town (U-City) is in St. Louis County, so I'm eligible for both library systems. When I was having car problems, now fixed, I couldn't get to either library without begging rides with others going that way. So I tapped into the system set up by U-City to bring books to the seniors at the Crown Center where I live. Deliveries are scheduled for every three weeks. All I have to do is put books on reserve, and they'll be placed in a bag for me until the next delivery day! Fantastic!

I love that they do deliveries; that is such a wonderful idea! Have you gotten into downloading e-books from the library? I haven't done that yet
Sometimes it's easier to read an actual book, like for the charts in the DASH Diet books. I have a Kindle, and I need to learn how to download novels from the library. In other words, for books I'm simply reading and not studying.
What a wonderful service!
