That is a beautiful library. While not as beautiful, there were two libraries in Michigan I enjoyed very much. One I passed almost every day, with a nice parking lot, making it very easy to use on a regular basis.
The new Vernetta Smith Chehalis Timberland Library should will be opening this weekend. It's supposed to have Washington State's very first library drive-through window!
Quote from: Jane on October 15, 2008, 04:23:05 PMTwo mysteries solved at once. The library was busy as the number on the card was not the current phone number for the library. I couldn't use my library card number on line as my card was canceled due to lack of use. I wish they had warned me it would be canceled. It would have gotten me into use the library.You can get another card, you know.

(In the same stretch you find the Franklin Institute with the Fels Panetarium, the Museum of Natural History and the Rodin Museum).
It's getting so I need to take a Dramamine before I look at any news of the economy.
Is the debate at six or six-thirty?
I'm been to the city a number of times and must have seen the library & never gone in. If Craig stays in the city I will make an effort to go inside. I think I will suggest he get a library card.
One of the oldest public libraries in the nation, the Free Library’s central building contains over one million volumes. It ranks as one of the most comprehensive collections in the country, with particularly extensive holdings of early printed books, incunabula (1,100) and medieval manuscripts. The primary manuscript holdings are grouped in John Frederick Lewis Collection, consisting of more than 200 codices and 2,000 detached leaves spanning the 9th to 18th centuries. Virtually all types of medieval book are represented—Bibles, Psalters, antiphonaries, missals, patristic and philosophical texts, devotional works, and over fifty Books of Hours. Some of the most famous illuminated works include the Lewis Bible, related to the Paris Bibles moralisées (c.1225); calendar pages from the Hours of Henry VII, painted by Jean Bourdichon (c.1500); a Book of Hours decorated by Jean Colombe (c.1475); and a genealogical roll of Edward IV illustrated in England (c.1480). Another 200 works form the core of the Lewis oriental collection, comprising one of the country’s premier collections of Mughal illuminated manuscripts.
Yummy! Fresh sliced cucumber in vinegar. Deelish!
I'm going to help Keith pull the petunia's out of the boxes on our deck. I always find this sad. He used to plant pansies for the winter, no more
Quote from: Jane on October 15, 2008, 03:43:21 PMOur library isn't convenient for me, and parking can be difficult. I went a number of times when we first moved here, when dogs were still permitted. After Echo was no long welcome I stopped going. I've decided I should use the library & was curious if I could go on line to hold books. Seems I should be able to once I log in. I can't log in without a password & I can't find a place to give it one. The phone number for the library has bee busy for a long time.In our library, you set up your account and password with your phone number and library card number, then you can browse, search and add holds from home. You can also have your account set up so that you are mailed all your items and you can mail them back. We'll pay the postage to send the items to you, but you'd have to pay the postage to send them back, or you can return them to any branch and not pay postage...just gas to get yourself to the library.

I wonder what the late fees are these days. They have this annoying rule you can't renew a book if there is a hold on it.

I like the idea of cucumber in vinegar with pepper - do you add a tiny bit of oil or just the vinegar? Any other seasonings? And just normal Heinz vinegar?
I am trying to figure out if I want to be Scrooge this Christmas!
