the mountain view public library

i love public libraries
i randomly ended up popping into the mountain view public library and decided to get my library card today
although my ID has my old address, i happened to have an old paystub from a check i deposited from work that had my current mountain view address
and voila!
i had a card!

the mountain view library is BEAUTIFUL, and i only moseyed around the first floor.

I checked out The Lightning Thief, an Ann Rinaldi book (best children's historical fiction writer EVER), a bilingual children's book (that my dad and i had a surprisingly interesting conversation about.  dude my dad's so smart), and Revolutionary Road (DVD).

I was amazed by the amount of bilingual stuff that's there.

and it was so sweet seeing families with their kids reading books on the sofas and little nooks the MV Library provides.

There's free wireless from google there too.

and, yeah, i can't wait to go back.

i HAVE to go back - but I have to wait until 12/3 when my first application gets turned in.. otherwise i'll fritter away my time reading about Percy Jackson.  It's fun.  Gotta hand it to them.

OH AND i put Mockingjay on HOLD.  FINALLY WILL BE READING THAT BABY SOON.


I bought some adult books to read... but yeah, i think YA fiction is just.. so much more interesting...
