          <body><![CDATA[Our city, Carlsbad in So. Cal., has two libraries--one old (comfortable and loved) and one new (modern,beautiful,and airy)<br/>The new one, Dove Library, has an interior of birch wood and tile.  I do much of my pre-library time using the on-line convenience--searching, holding, and asking them to order more of an enjoyed series on DVD.<br/>I try to go into the Cole Library whenever I am going down to the village.  I love looking through their used books ($1), magazines (especially Bon Appetit)<br/>for $.25, and paperbacks for $.25. Both have a great children's section with many activities for preschoolers.  The Cole Library has a very good genealogy division.  It is wonderful to have such well-stocked, pleasant libraries to spend as much time as you'd like.]]></body>
