library card freak

that's me.  i can't help myself.  i love the library.  i love all libraries.  i visit libraries when i'm travelling even when i can't get library privileges. i just love the library.  today though i scored an all-time coup.  i got two library cards issued to me.  two--in one day.  one for columbia university libraries--and one for the research arm of the new york public library--it had been so long since i've done research there i didn't know a separate id was required.  but that wasn't the best part.  the best part is the access to the digital databases.  i can spend hours on-line at home printing to my heart's content articles from various scholarly journals and dissertations.  i know i'm a geek.  but look what i've found an article by thomas kennedy from The Literary Review called Living in Another Language!  and a piece by faith adiele in The Massachusetts Review called Gifts.  lucky me.  what a gift.  how will i ever stop searching these databases and printing and printing and printing!
