Also, it turns out that there's now a unified library card for all Maryland public libraries, so that you don't have to be a Howard County resident to get a Howard County library card.
So on Saturday we went and signed me up for my very own Howard County library card. It's shiny and holographic!
In honor of this new development, I'm going to start posting the things I check out (and return) on each trip to the library, so you can see how excessive my booklust really is (even as compared to the number of books I claim to be reading at a time).
On Saturday, we went to both the local branch library and the central library. Here's what I checked out:
- Local branch:
- From a display shelf of selected young-adult "good reads":
- Nine Days a Queen: the short life and reign of Lady Jane Grey (Ann Rinaldi)
- Just Ella (Margaret Peterson Haddox)
- Singer (Jean Thesman)
- From New Books: One Night at the Call Center: A Novel (Chetan Bhagat)
- The Borgia Bride (Jeanne Kalogridis)
- For Adam: The West Wing, season 4, disc 5.
- From a display shelf of selected young-adult "good reads":
- Central library:
- From New Books: The Ladies of Grace Adieu (Susanna Clarke)
- Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (Susanna Clarke)
- A Morbid Taste for Bones (Ellis Peters)
- The Last Templar (Michael Jecks)
On Sunday, I went to study at the central branch. In the last 15 minutes before the library closed, I browsed the new nonfiction books and grabbed these:
- My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned By Becoming a Student (Rebekah Nathan, aka Cathy Small)
- The Children in Room E4: American Education on Trial (Susan E. Eaton)
- Poor People (William T. Vollmann)
Total items out so far: 13.
