Perhaps on any other day or any other time of day, all those people would have reacted differently. There are days when I really want something at the library- that day I was just going by for a browse and to drop books off, and so it didn't trouble me as it might have if I'd had Phyllis Hunt McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370730851612587650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814799811633243210.post-49178108739425158562009-11-23T19:50:55.080-08:002009-11-23T19:50:55.080-08:00I've been thinking about this essay since I fi...I've been thinking about this essay since I first read it several days ago. I'm trying to think how I would likely have reacted--because I can readily see myself forgetting the closure notice and going round with my books. I likely would have felt foolish and exasperated in equal measure. I hope I wouldn't have stood there cursing!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814799811633243210.post-79695148479281052972009-11-23T18:17:57.189-08:002009-11-23T18:17:57.189-08:00Shaista,

You write so succinctly and cleverly... and I would react much as the little old lady did :)<br />Our local library has been refurbished, and has just re-opened. It smells of new paint and has a bathroom, and several self-service machines.. but oh, how I miss the old one!Shaistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259344471712162333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814799811633243210.post-33645308176824275492009-11-18T16:54:56.953-08:002009-11-18T16:54:56.953-08:00Pauline, indeed they are :)

But yes, perhaps they thought it was lost forever!Phyllis Hunt McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370730851612587650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814799811633243210.post-86717470853128300102009-11-17T08:21:11.739-08:002009-11-17T08:21:11.739-08:00I wonder if the banner noted that it would reopen ...I wonder if the banner noted that it would reopen at a certain time. Did the people know it was going to be closed temporarily or do you suppose some of them saw the sign and thought, 'this is it - closed forever' -Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814799811633243210.post-84033908389627562092009-11-17T03:58:45.759-08:002009-11-17T03:58:45.759-08:00ah yes, the best stories are the ones we are writi...ah yes, the best stories are the ones we are writing ourselves ;)Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.com
