Oh My Goodness...Libraries have evolved so much, totally in line with technology. Yep, I was super amazed how techy they have gotten. I went straight to the front desk, the staff directed me to a computer to register for a card. Trees saved, yes! then after I click submit, he handed me my cool strong plastic library card (1 credit card size, and one for the key ring). Then, when I picked out my book, I just scan my library card, then scan my book. A receipt is printed with the day my book is due.
There is also a nice, small and comfy coffee shop so right when you enter the library, you can smell the coffee aroma. I love this library...I forgot that instead of paying for a book that I may only read once, I can check one out w/out a fee! Thanks to Debbie N to remind me that some things in life are free...
