The cats were getting on my nerves this afternoon, so I decided to pop into town for an ice cream. On a whim, I went to see if the library was open. I tried to get a card several times last year, but the library was never open when it was supposed to be.

Lo and behold, the library was open and I had everything I needed to get my borrower’s card!

The library is quite a good size and has a lot of recent tomes, a decent French selection, and an excellent DVD collection. I didn’t have much time, so I grabbed a French novel, the latest Kathy Reichs, and two books about the Gold Rush. Borrowing terms are generous; you can take out 28 items at a time for almost four weeks, and it’s possible to renew online from home.

Slightly related to my afternoon, I was asked last night by a Texan ‘how much snow there is in Dawson right now.’ I’ll just say that it’s hot (17) and sunny today, and even the days when it hasn’t been I’ve been wearing the same thing: a tee-shirt, a light cardigan, and sandals. Snow is a distant memory. 😀
