one of those days at the library yesterday where i had to force myself to stop looking. either i find nothing on the shelves or i find more than i can carry—it's an endless toss-up here in brooklyn.
the system here has some odd quirks: requesting books online takes some time to show up in one's account, sometimes resulting in multiple copies requested; doing anything on one's account requires the repeated input of last name, 14-digit library card number, and pin number; books routinely go missing on the shelves; if a requested book can't be found, it will just disappear from the person's list…
i'm jealous of well-organized libraries.
