The Small Joys of Working For A Library

The other day, I was at our local mall and popped into the bookstore. On the shelf, I saw a new title called “The 100 Greatest Canadian Albums of All-Time”. This one caught my eye and was quickly in my hand as I turned to head for the cashier. But then I thought, “Twenty five bucks for a book I'll only read once? And that'll be a pretty quick read at that? Don't I work in a library? They might have it.” So the next day, I go in and do the search and not only is the book in the system but it's at Central Branch, checked in. So at noon, I walk up a flight of stairs, find the proper area and by my bus ride home that day, I'm reading away. Sometimes it's the simple pleasures in life, no?
