Books - finding them
So I could buy the next book for my book club online. But... I always hate buying books online. There are used books I've been looking for for almost a decade now that I know are perfectly available online. I'm still hoping to find a copy in a used book table sometime instead of dropping 2.01 for a used copy on Amazon. That's just me.
I've been browsing online library catalogs trying to find a copy of said bookclub book, and because some of the middle-of-the-state libraries share an online open source catalog, I see that there is one copy available - in Waitsfield.
Waitsfield is about 40 minutes from here, and if I detour there on my way to visit my family this weekend, it will only add about 40 minutes to the total drive time - plus, I'll get to stop at a small town library I've never visited before.
Also, of course, I'll need to pay an out of town annual membership fee, that may be something between 20-30 dollars.
But golly, I won't have to buy it online.
I'm not sure what it says about me that this seems like a Totally Rational and Rewarding Plan.
