A woman came up to the Children's Desk this afternoon and asked Debbie and I how many books she was allowed to check out on a card. I responded that she could take out 50 items at once, but that if she was getting nonfiction that there was a limit of 3 per subject. She looked a little wide-eyed and said that she didn't think she needed quite that many. She then smiled brightly and added, "but isn't that a beautiful thing?"
Libraries = Beautiful Things. I do believe so.
