Good idea. I had forgotten that they have other physical media.

I haven't been there in years and will probably go this weekend. The selection of books in years past have been exceptionally poor plus they don't do loans or swaps from other Counties so I stopped going.

Wow, a public library that doesn't do loans/swaps, never heard of that! Bummer for that community!

They don't do Interlibrary Loans?? Are you in Florida? I was a librarian for over 40 years and rarely encountered a library/library system that didn't participate in that service. Select items that couldn't be interlibrary loaned, of course, but shutting the whole service down, weird. I say Florida, because a friend of mine worked in Florida and a private corp. took over library service and one of the first things they did was kill library service.

LOL! You are 100% correct. Florida here and no interlibrary loans. It was so frustrating that I just stopped going.

The only exception was digital media. I could have accessed the two connecting Counties e-library, which I believe, is all through the same service.

I finished season two of The Wire. From what I've seen online, this season is pretty contentious amongst the fans and I can see why. After taking a long time to settle in during the first season, this season shifts gears and places the viewer in very different setting with a bunch of different characters. It also takes quite a bit of time to "get the gang back together." However, by the end of the season, I was really into this one and I liked it more than I remember liking it the first time around. Now we are moving on to season three, which is all new territory as we stopped last time after season two. Very much looking forward to it!

I watched a Folk-Horror film called Frewaka last night on Shudder, and really enjoyed it. A home health aide is dispatched to a remote Irish village to care for a paranoid elderly stroke victim, creepiness ensues. Very well-made and effective.
