Books from your local library

[Angela]

Hello! Tell us about the books you’ve gotten to keep from the library while they are closed! Did you get a chance to stock up in the days prior to closing?

I went the last day our local library was open and stocked up. The night before I went through some TBR books and found some available at my local branch. I then was able to walk in and just grab them.

It was mostly stuff I've had on my list for a while that I just hadn't gotten around to reading. The experience was kind of weird though because I'm used to our branch being busy, but with people just kind of loitering and not being in the stacks. That day there were people all in the stacks making it very crowded. One lady was pulling mass amounts of cookbooks off the shelves and another couple ladies had long printed out lists and they were going through the mystery section checking against their lists.

I'm glad people were stocking up though. Might as well have someone use the books during this time rather than them just sit there gathering dust.

I wasn't able to get any physical books before the library closed, but I've gotten several books and audiobooks on Libby! So grateful to have that as an option right now!

Abigail - Did you ask the women taking the cook books when you could go over for dinner? lol I hope they have been eating well!
Jessica - I am so grateful for Libby, too! There is a great Kids collection that I can put on the girls' devices to let them pick out books and materials!

Before the Lepper Library closed I also checked out two cake pans, board games, movies, along with practically a whole shelf's worth of books! I regretfully did not grab a ukulele though. We have our own two ukuleles at home for the kids, but I should have grabbed another for me to play.

I totally should've asked about dinner. Would've saved me having to cook a few nights XD lol

I love Libby and primarily use that for my reading. I was worried with the library closed that the wait times on the Ohio Digital Library would get even worse than they already are. I will say I love having the ability to check out ebooks. It is so convenient!
