Last night, I decided to use the new downtown library to do some homework. I figured since my tax dollars went towards the building of the new addition, I should take advantage of using it. I also figured that it would be a nice, quiet place to concentrate on my studies. Well..I was wrong. It was more like studying at the zoo or mall! Kids running around everywhere, screaming and crying, people talking on cell phones, cell phones ringing, and the automatic blinds going up and down multiple times. I was looking for the little old librarian lady that "Shsssshes" (is that a word?) everyone. She was nowhere in sight. I do not expect it to be like that every time. Maybe I should try a different floor. It won't stop me from going to the library because it is a great resource. I will probably be using it more.
Oh..and I forgot to mention my attempt in getting a library card prior to studying. In order to get a library card, you have to be a resident of Marion county or attend a school in Marion county. Unfortunately Indiana Wesleyan University is not in Marion county, but I do live in Marion county and pay Marion county taxes. At least that is what I thought. They looked up my address on the United States Postal Service website and it showed me living in Morgan county. To show proof that I lived in Marion county, they wanted to see a tax document with my address. Why would I carry my tax documents with me? So I had to break out my laptop and pull up my scanned voter registration card and divorce papers (showing me living in Marion cty) that I had saved on my jumpdrive. They finally gave in and issued me a library card! So now I can check out books and movies. Woo Hoo!! What a night at the library.
