30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 4
Today I am thankful for the public library.
About a year ago I discovered that the library not only offers free access to so many books, music, and movies, but also Wii games! Granted, the waiting list to check out the games can be a little long, but after waiting all that time it can be a pleasant surprise to be checking out a game you forgot even existed. Today I picked up 2 games that I didn't realize would be ready for me this week, so there's a double surprise! I won't have time to play them in the immediate future, but I'm sure I'll find some time before they are due back in two weeks to have a little fun. Libraries are awesome. And they would still be awesome even if they didn't have Wii games.
I'll leave you with the words seen on a poster at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear: "Freedom is not free, neither are libraries, fire departments, police stations, and public schools." (...ok, I don't remember what the poster actually said, but I think I quoted it right up through the fire department part. Taxes help pay for libraries, and I'm grateful for it!)

That's right, sister.... public libraries are the bomb! Sometimes I can't believe such an awesome thing exists. So cool. I wish we had such a thing for clothes, too. And specialized cooking utensils.
Oooo! A "library" for cooking tools (or any tools) would be awesome!
