Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

There’s a certain kind of man, my FIL for example, who will read you book, say nothing about it but eagerly point out the typo he found. He will then expect you to laugh and be grateful for his close reading. #authors #books #thetroublewithmen
