some people collect credit cards
Yesterday I pocketed my fourth public library card.
It makes sense, really. No, really. I live in San Francisco, so I got their card; I work in Mtn. View, so it is easy to go to the Mtn. View and Los Altos libraries. None of the three allow cross-lending. Santa Clara city does, but they also spend far more on new books than any of the others, and they don't cross-lend new books.
Okay, I admit it. I'm a biblioholic. Satisfied?
