The public library is so amazing! They have the newest books, videos, and music as well as e-books and audio books you can borrow through their website. I feel like a kid in a candy store. Alas, there is a borrowing limit and I have a carrying capacity. My arms are a bit sore today. The Queens library implemented a new checkout system which utilizes RFIDs in the books and a scanner at each counter. All it takes it 3 motions: flash library card, put stack of books on counter all together, pick up stack of books. It's wonderful and so much faster than their old system of barcodes. I was thoroughly amused and loving the library even more. The downside to the public library is BABIES and people screaming on their cellphone. Oh, sometimes I feel like I have to wear gloves to read their books so I don't catch anything. Some library patrons are not the cleanest people. =x
