I can get lost at the library. We have one just down the road. Very easy to walk to. I have enjoyed it quite often. I spent some time there today. I brought the laptop because they have free wi-fi. It's a great thing! I sat in front of this huge window they have in the front. There is a wee bit of property with trees before you see the highway. It was a gorgeous sunny day and the leaves are changing colour!
We have lived in larger cities for the past 10 years, so I do miss the selections at those libraries. But what I really miss from Edinburgh is the 3 week check out. It is just 2 weeks here! If I get a book I have a hard time getting into it takes me about 2 weeks just to start reading it regularly. Then I have to go renew it. The things I don't miss though are being charged to check out a video (is there a charge for CDs as well?) and the late charge for books. I can't remember what it was in Edinburgh, but I know it was more than the 4 cents per day I have to pay here.

I miss free movie borrowing too! :)
Our library (in Britain) lets us renew books online as long as there aren't any requests outstanding on it. I wonder if your library might do the same?
I renew my books online too, and did that in the US and UK as well.
I love the library! I need to do a post sometime on how much I love it. I miss having a library in walking distance, as I did in Edinburgh. However, because Moose Jaw has only one central library, the selection is a lot better overall.
