they'd been at their current location for 2 years!! but I never happened to drive down that street - only found them because I read a Patricia Wentworth book and liked it - yay! a new author! - but the library didn't have any more of hers.
so I googled for used books and there they were. it's a nice place in a lot of ways: tons of books but also signs up on the wall explaining things and so on. smelled like actual lavender, because someone brought in the plant rather than a spray!
it does make me a little sad that it is necessary since "free books" for everyone is what the library is supposed to be about. but, I guess the city can have both. and, speaking of sad, one of the signs said that people had been seen taking the free books and selling them at other stores...damn it, whenever we try to have something nice.
it is nice, though. and in every place I've lived there was somewhere to get cheap books if only the Goodwill. free is even better. I'm going to donate there today.
