Outdoor dining was promised to us on July 2, but other states had spiking numbers so on June 30 that was taken away.
Libraries are allowed to open, but our local library does not feel comfortable opening their doors.
Instead we have curbside pick up.
In theory, this is a great idea. After all we mostly only use the library for picking up books we have on hold.
Reality does not match theory in this case.
The library staff understandably fell behind in processing requests. I was getting so impatient I started visiting little free libraries to find reading materials. They weren't books I wanted to read, but better than nothing. I also signed up for Netflix and started watching "The Crown," (which I am enjoying a lot!).
They send an email when you have books to pick up. You have to call during their limited hours to make an appointment to visit the tent in the upper left hand corner to pick up the books. You are assigned a 15-minute window.
Deep breaths.
Everyone is frustrated with the system from the staff to the patrons. It is out of all of our hands. While some libraries are opening, our county has decided not to. Hopefully a solution will happen before the weather turns.
Meanwhile, I am enjoying having a huge selection of books to read.
