Library

Last week I finally went to the library. The sign up process was amazingly easy, I just passed them my registration card and a couple of beeps later I was authorized! Most books can be on loan for 28 days and they have self check out stations conveniently placed all over the library. It took a bit of guess work and shoulder surfing before I could actually figure out how to check out the book, but in the end I left the library with a three books by Karen Blixen (pen name Isak Dinesen), a celebrated Danish author. My literary soul tingles in anticipation!

I have a library card, but it's for the library at one of my elementary school; the selection isn't terribly appealing.

I did borrow one book called "Izumi no densetsu (Legends of Izumi)" a book of local legends. Didn't read much of it though cause... er... it's in Japanese.
