I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit that I haven’t had a library card since they did away with card catalogs (you know, the kind with actual cards). I decided that I would do one thing today to enrich my life that didn’t cause me to spend money or break a sweat and it turns out getting a library card was just the ticket. It was my first visit to the new library since it opened almost 2 years ago and I must say it’s quite impressive; lots of light, tastefully appointed and because this is Austin it has a bar, of course. The children’s floor looked like fun, but seeing as how my card clearly stated I was an adult I would have looked out of place, or possibly even been detained, if I had spent too much time there. Any of you with small children who would like to loan them out as props one afternoon so I can blend in better, please let me know. I’ll buy them a drink in the bar afterwards. “Put it on Uncle Frank’s tab!”
I also checked out my first book today, The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle by Francisco Goldman. I did so based on the recommendation of Jenny Huth because, well, she’s Dr. Huth. I’m contemplating a trip to Mexico City next year and thought it might get me in the frame of mind to make the journey. Now I just have to remember to return it by August 31st or incur a late charge. And THAT will be the real test of whether or not I’m an adult.

The “new” Austin Library — which not so new anymore — is a wonderful place … sadly, I live in the “greater” Austin area and technically must rely on my eldest son and his beautiful family to access it appropriately … including the kiddy floor (which is great btw); LOL!!
