And for the same reason - it's all true! Again, having worked in a large public library, I can attest to the facts: girl-watching is at a premium, you have instant and convenient access to books, movies and all other library material, the hours are good, the job is mostly peaceful. The fact is, I DO LOVE the library. I would never say that I HATE the library - that's just wrong. However, that didn't prevent me from seeing the bits of truth and humor in Mr. Fowler's writing. thanks, Hyper Thalamus, www.hyperthalamus.blogspot.com I loved the “5 reasons I hate the Public Library” piece, and I love this one, too!

There amy be homeless people hanging out, but you can bet they're the most well behaved homeless you'll ever see.

I love mine and so do my almost-five-year olds. Checking out a Thomas Train movie is high on their list of exciting things to do. The high-tech aspect is my fav. I sit at home, request a book online, and an email tells me when it's available to pick-up. I'm almost happy paying taxes when I think of this!

I can read all the books I want, for FREE! I check them out, read them, and then give them back. Since I live in the suburbs, there's no problem with homeless people camping out, and the librarians are ok, they don't bother anyone unless you bother them first.

For the next chapter in the Public Library series, I'd like to see a group of people hole up inside a library during the zombie apocalypse. Good stuff.

Especially the birker 'stache I've recently cultivated. Hoever, we can have children, it's just that after endless days of chasing after kids because their parents are too lazy to disciplne them, we just don't want them. And DORM DAZE may seem weird to have, but I'll bet a) it was a donation to the library, and b) it's been checked out many, many times. Yes, it’s true, I am hot as all get-out.

And DORM DAZE may seem weird to have, but I’ll bet
a) it was a donation to the library, and
b) it’s been checked out many, many times.
