(Note the straightforward language -- refreshing.) <BR/><BR/>This could be simpler than trying to change a town ordinance. It's almost on our way home from work, and I'd guess it has the best selection of all (plus the best hours).Jennifer Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304620400847299453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169040146324262118.post-35600170859239849222008-12-01T17:50:00.000-05:002008-12-01T17:50:00.000-05:00Ally - Yes, that's how I think it should be rewrit...Ally - Yes, that's how I think it should be rewritten. Unfortunately, most of the library staff members know us so we probably couldn't get away with someone else's card even if one were available.<BR/><BR/>Gail - That's what I'm saying!<BR/><BR/>Rachel - Credit unions are awesome like that. There are about five branches of our county library system (which is part of a regional system), but the two biggest towns in our county (the one where I live, and the one where I work) each have their own separate library, for whatever reason. I have no idea why they don't all merge -- probably because the town libraries seem much better funded than the county ones.Jennifer Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304620400847299453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169040146324262118.post-83466192191678366562008-12-01T17:42:00.000-05:002008-12-01T17:42:00.000-05:00Your library should take its cues from a credit un...Your library should take its cues from a credit union here in town, where you can be a member if you live, work, worship, or attend school here. And you can retain that membership for life.<BR/><BR/>I don't know anything about the libraries in your area, but is there a chance that the libraries would benefit from being a regional library system with a number of branches? Then people could share the resources more broadly, and you could still check out books for free. :) This is probably about as easy as getting a town ordinance changed...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169040146324262118.post-65875871157545485562008-12-01T15:44:00.000-05:002008-12-01T15:44:00.000-05:00Most libraries consider supporting "Life-long lear...Most libraries consider supporting "Life-long learning" as one of theira= major goals. I cannot imagine a librarian and/or representative of that institution not wanting to encourage and support anyone willing to better themselves. Education is not limited to a zip code nor address. You have proven yourself as good library patrons therefore I would think you would be encouraged to use their resources, not refused entry to the hallowed halls of knowledge.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364840739268199814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169040146324262118.post-64387979124477370302008-12-01T15:20:00.000-05:002008-12-01T15:20:00.000-05:00So you want it to be re-written to say that member...So you want it to be re-written to say that members of an LLC that holds property within the city should be allowed to obtain a library card? Hmm. I hate that it has to be so complicated. It makes sense to have a library card for the city in which you work since that is where you are before and after work as well as on your lunch break. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>p.s. I wish you could just use someone else's account/card....they don't check IDs most places, so if a friend has two cards you could do that....Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169040146324262118.post-67473616470882036902008-12-01T15:09:00.000-05:002008-12-01T15:09:00.000-05:00Yes, and that is a very appealing suggestion, poss...Yes, and that is a very appealing suggestion, possibly the best thing to come from SPPL's rejection of us as cardholders.Jennifer Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304620400847299453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169040146324262118.post-66022752119185847432008-12-01T14:54:00.000-05:002008-12-01T14:54:00.000-05:00Is Pinebluff one of the county libraries?
