A Boo-Hiss Moment

Our family goes to the library every Sunday after church. Today as we were "self-checking" out, the librarian asked if the movies we were getting were non-fiction. I'm thinking uh-oh ... is there a limit or something? She explained that there had been a lot of theft in the movie section lately - ten movies missing on Friday. People have been stealing the discs and leaving the cases on the shelf.  She wanted to make sure the movies were in the box, but she said they weren't really hitting the non-fiction section.  I guess Cuttlefish isn't a big seller on e-bay.

This makes me ill. For a small town, we have a lovely library. When other libraries are cutting services, ours is expanding.

The librarian said, "They're going to wipe us out," and "Don't they realize they are stealing from everybody." She wonders how they can sell them .. they have the library's initials across the disc in Sharpie .. and they don't take the cases. They must be selling them somewhere. She told me to be on the lookout if I went to any garage sales.

It's just really sad. I know we aren't the only family leaning on the library more because we have to cut spending. And our library is so super and thriving.

A pox on you thiefs! Boo! Hiss!

Look, My Inner Child!

I apologize for not posting in a month. I've been revisiting my childhood.

Not really, I've just been busy. Very, very busy, like a seven year old in a crayon factory.
