I remember strolling through the stalls at Vanderbilt's library. My God,
there were so many interesting books.

I used to spend a lot of time in libraries. My wife was a librarian and,
strangely, the last thing she wanted to talk about was books.

I've been watching 'Wire in the Blood' and in the episode last night Hill
was researching church history and witchcraft in a library, snatching
books off the shelves and surrounding himself with piles on a worktable.
It was a bit of a nostalgic feeling. The program was from 2004; I wonder
if they would show a google search today.

The city build a new library that was to open just before covid. There is
a maker space, discovery area for kids, meeting rooms, an audiovisual
area, and even a cooking area. I don't know if there are any more books.
It's hard to tell with them spread out on more spacious shelves.

I still checkout a real book at times but most of what I get is digital,
delivered to the kindle via amazon. I did get on a C.J. Box kick after
watching 'Joe Pickett' and they do have more on the shelf rather than
available digitally so I'll have to stop in.
