I have a problem that gets me every damn time, and it’s completely my fault.

The Athenaeum Library gives you a lovely, sturdy, capacious book bag when you join them. The borrowing period is also lengthy - one month.

Every time I go, I fill this bag.

Then I have to eventually return them, and hauling the full book bag up the stairs is a pain in the bum

That’s a beautiful library. I’d be there so often if I lived near it.
