Badseedgirl - 2014-02-01 6:07 PM So I just got the most horrible news. My local library has finally raised the $500,000 they needed for improvements to the buildings and are getting ready to close the building for the foreseeable future while they remodel and rearrange the stacks to maximize space. Now my favorite librarian, who is my hook-up for all the best stuff (And yes I know I sound like a junkie jonesing for a hit, but really it sort of works doesn't it!) has assured me that if I give her a list of the books I will need for this years challenges she will be sure to send them over to the satellite office, but once I do that I will be locked into my choices or what I can get from my digital library. All I can say is wish me luck!

First, congrats to your library for securing the funds to make improvements!  Nice to hear that.  It's cool you've found a work around to get your book fix while they're out of commission for the remodel but I can see your predicament.  Even if I make a side stack of the books that I really really want to read at one moment I may not want to read any of them at the time I go looking for my next book.  The stack is still full of great books but I'm just not in the mood for any of them or something new and shiny has distracted me.

I would check out as many books as I can think of that I want to read and that the library will allow me to take.  Maximize your options while you can.
