Binary By Accident

I’ve never really talked about my local library. It has been the source for 90% of the books I’ve read since I started keeping track in October.

Serving a county of 71,295 (38,967 in the city, the rest rural), the library does an excellent job as far as having a wonderful collection of books, DVDs, and services. Starting in March, free wireless was offered, which I think is a hallmark of forward thinking. You can even email a reference librarian and ask a question.

Now I’ll pick a nit. They have an excellent bi-monthly newsletter that is distributed via the local paper (affectionately called by some locals, “the second worst paper in the country”, because there must surely be one that’s worse). Unfortunately they don’t offer it online, so if you don’t get the paper or what to refer to something 6 weeks later, you’re out of luck. But, again, that’s just a nit.
