Last Sunday I was fortunate enough to REMEMBER to attend our city’s library sale.
Usually I am out of town or else simply forget about it so hastened over to the regional branch at which it was being held.
I had seen the ad in the bi weekely local paper we get and thought that I was in lots of time but when I walked in, one of the library, “officials”, was buzzing about in a very bossy manner(amazing how a little power will affect some people) saying that there were only 5 more minutes left!?
Huh?
I checked with the newspaper ad I had providentially brought with me and showed it to the individual who VERY snippily said,”oh that ad is wrong”.
Then I was told that I could buy a $5 “ticket” to participate (in what turned out to be a real free for all) in a “all you can carry for five dollars”.
The stipulation was that we had to buy the ticket, exit, wait five minutes, then would allowed back in (not little by little but ALL at once)
I remained calm, but SOME did not, and mooed around outside the door for the five minutes, reminding me, once again, that I prefer animals to(most) people.
However, I did come away with 17 books of various genres and felt that the venture was worth my while.
