DeleteExciting! The Los Angeles Public Library is part of this system and has a branch just minutes from my house, so is now my top library of choice. I can request books from anywhere in the system to be sent to my branch for me to pick up. They have everything I want. If not for libraries, I would be broke and would not have enough room for all the books I want to read.
ReplyDeleteYes, very exciting news indeed! Libraries are wonderful!
