Good!

When I was a kid I loved hanging out in the library, reading books and newspapers and learning so many things.

But it was always empty, and the librarians always seemed surprised to see me as a regular.

Libraries are wonderful places that don't demand you spend money to be there and everyone should get a card even if only for the extra ID.
