You know you spend too much time in the library when…

1. the librarians know your full name, occupation, major in college, and schedule
2. they know your cell phone number from muscle memory
3. they don't leave the standard message for inter-library loan (hello ___, this is the library calling to tell you that your book, ___, is in. you have __ days to pick it up, and you can renew it __ times. our hours are...) instead they just say "hey, your book is in."
4. they don't ask for your library card, they just pull your account up when they see you coming to the desk with a stack of books.
5. they know your favorite authors and genres and let you know when stuff you might like comes in.
6. they ask your advice on different books and authors for their own reading or for their kids...

Yeah, I wrote all these and they are all true for me. I’m a member of two libraries (downtown one, and the school one) and that’s pretty much the story of my life there… books books and books :D

Speaking of Libraries… Join my new Library Ghosts book club (which starts in January) before November 30th and you’ll get 5 extra entries in the Winter Contest!
