i know so many library science majors who are very disappointed in me.

I've been checking out books at the library lately and it's been a good thing.  I'm still reading New Yorkers from July, no!  August!!  but I've wanted to start Henry on good library etiquette at an early age. 

Here's the thing.  I suck at libraries. 

Wait. 

I suck at deadlines. 

And libraries have these things they like to call, "due dates."  I am a procrastinator by trade so I always wait until the last minute to read the book and then I wait until I get the email telling me my book is late and then I go online to renew the loan and then I get really pissed when someone else placed a hold on my book and I can't renew it and I'm only on page 150 of the 900 page book. 

The really bad part is that my local library does not have late fees.  This is good because I can still afford to read books.  This is bad because I'm probably going to be the reason they enact late fees when they make their budget for 2012.  Maybe if the library threatened my credit score I would read the book on time? 

The last couple times I took Henry to the library we had to leave because he thought he could enjoy the library like he enjoys his bookshelf at home.  I have a feeling the only thing I'm teaching Henry is how to get banned from his local library.
