Library adventures!

I went to the library in Whitmore Lake, which is actually called the Northfield Township Library and it is CUUUUTE!! It's so tiny--one floor of a house. The lady who helped me and got me a library card was super nice and she gave me a tour and showed me where all the different sections are. It was cool b/c I saw things there that I know have a waiting list at the A2 library. :) You only get books for 2 weeks though. But that's okay. They have a writers' group and monthly movie nights. It just looks like fun! I'm excited. Oh, and they have little animals, but I can't remember what they're called. Desus or something. And you can borrow puppets!!!

Then I picked up my stuff from my library, Malletts Creek and then went to visit the Pittsfield Branch, b/c I had only been there once and never explored. I read more children's books! :) It was way fun. They have fun furniture there. But here's the list of picture books I read tonight at Pittsfield:

Oh! And...they had free books at the Northfield Township Library, so I got this:

• The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood

It's one of the retelling of old myths books like Dream Angus that I read not too long ago. It's about Penelope and Odysseus. :) It was free, how could I resist?

I'm going to MSU tomorrow to read some comics in the Special Collections (b/c none of the other MeLCat libraries have them. And I'm going to eat a Jersey Giant sub... Mmmm... Yay!!
