Veronique needed a book today for her class and we had to resort to the public library. I can’t say I have been there much in my life, but I’ve realized what a magical place it is.
Don’t get me wrong…I’m not going to be some library geek spending countless hours there. But they have EVERYTHING there.
You want CDs? Done. Free CDs. To borrow. To burn. To steal.
You want DVDs? Done. I even saw the third season of Trailer Park Boys there. At the LIBRARY! Come on!
Did I mention all the books and magazines?
Anyhow, the rules are as follows:
You can take 10 CDs, 10 DVDs, 10 Audiobooks and as many books as you can carry out at a time.
The RIAA is looking for the suppliers of music downloads? Feast your eyes on a municipally funded establishment.
Amazing. Right under my nose all this time. Let’s just say that instead of going to Blockbuster to find the hot new release, I’m going to walk down to the library and check out a no-so-new release. There’s tons of movies that I haven’t seen.

True, pretty good deal.
But come on baby, no need to say it’s because you like libraries that you could become a geek.
Like come on, admit it:

Mrs. Pimpson and I have been fans of the OPL for a while now. She works their website like a pro…
Aww yeah! Free DVD rentals. Can’t beat that.
In fact, they even have other things to offer. This one time we went in – we were treated to the best show in history.
One must keep in mind, that because they offer a free service, they attract all walks of life, know what I mean?
Anyway – so we go in – and there is this crazy (literally crazy) woman and the front, buggin the lady behind the front desk. She’s not using her library voice at all. She says: “What do I do? I found mouse droppings ALL over my house! Do I put everything in the washing machine? What soap do I use? Or do I throw it all out? I can’t throw it all out! It’s my stuff! What book can I get to give me this answer? Will I get a disease? I don’t want to get a disease…” She goes on and on about this for like ten minutes.
And the woman behind the front desk says: “I can’t help you maam, I’m sorry. I don’t know these answers. You should see a doctor.”
That’s right – not only can you get free media from the OPL, you can also get free theatrical entertainment. (Or psychiatric advice depending on your point of view!)
So true. I have a friend who was a librarian in the Toronto Public Library system. The stories she has to tell…someone once stole the libraries’ toilet seat and managed to escape unnoticed. Just goes to show, those handy bar codes shouldn’t just be for books…
mwahahahaa I totally remember that day. I was dying trying to keep myself from bursting out loud laughing! Ya there’s definitely no shortage of weirdies at the public library… nonetheless I do <3 the OPL
btw Trish that toilet seat story – priceless! I bet it was over a bet.
I was the one who stole it. Some girl made me do it.
