To the LIBRARY
Sep. 20th, 2022 07:49 pmZ and I got our Covid/flu shots yesterday. We both had some joint pain from it, but it's been wearing off.
Today, I went downtown to the library to vote for the budget - I checked out their page about it when they sent me an email and it was all 'so we've been having a lot of staff turnover because our salaries and benefits are bad so nobody wants to work for us, plz let us have more money so we can pay people and have hours again', which seems like a good reason to ask for money. I was voter #129 of the day, so, you know, it was a really happening vote.
Didn't get any new books - I paged through the graphic novels, but nothing caught my interest - but I did take a picture of an advert for a tiny museum that's open like once a month and had no idea existed. Will have to put that on my calendar. I also stopped by the Little Free Library to drop off some books. It was pretty empty today, so hopefully that's a sign it's seeing good use. There's a couple more that have popped up recently - one a bit closer to me, one next door to a pizza place - so I might check them out sometime too. Although not before I finish my most recent book purchases 😅
