Time Flies!

Hello! My name is Carmen and this is my first post ever. (I kept putting it off. I had no idea what to say! I racked my brain and then realized I was wrong. There is a lot that happens here at the Holbrook Public Library!) I have been with the library for...ongoing 4 years? My goodness! Time flies! How did that happen??? Oh, right. You know, time really does fly when you work at the library. How? Well, when you are checking out a patron's books, you constantly, forever more see the due dates. Yup! For example, today is April 24rd. When a book gets checked out, the due date will say, "May 15, 2008". That's what makes time fly while working here. And believe it or not, Interlibrary loans make the time fly even faster! The due date for an interlibrary loan checked out today going out of county would be May 25th. And I think to myself, "Yikes! Already the end of May!" Yea it's silly, I know. So what better way to pass the time than with a good book! Come visit us at the library and take a look around. We have added some new decorations to the atmosphere. It's a lot of fun, but you'll have to come in to see!

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
