The Trek to the Library

Thanks for the post from Darrick Moreno
Living in the peninsula, most of the libraries in my area suck. They're all rather small and therefore have a really limited selection. Oftentimes, when I look for a book at one library, it'll point me to another library in the area or say the book isn't available. After expanding my search, I noticed that the library in the city almost always seemed to carry the book in question.
Since then, I've begun heading there on weekends to get my reading fix. I originally started driving up there, but with the hassle of meter parking, I switched to taking the mass transit rail system. This adds to the time it takes to get there, but keeps me from having to continuously check the time to see if I have to run out and put some quarters in the meter. The time it takes just to get there and back is enough that I have to set my home security alarm from www.SecurityChoice.com/ before leaving the house. Put the hours I spend reading books and on occasion, magazines, on top of that makes me glad that I splurged for it. I guess money can buy peace of mind for what it's worth. The books that I enjoy reading the most are probably nonfiction, but with the diversity of books offered here, I'm starting to pick up other types as well. I'm just glad there's a library like this in my location to satiate my thirst for reading!
