Nothing against the small and quaint Vermont libraries that I love and patronize but ...my jaw dropped when I stepped into Wellington's public library. Forget books, forget that the library had 37 copies of my current favorite writer of mysteries (yes, more than one copy for some titles), forget that the DVD section had more films than my local Blockbuster, forget that there's a mezzanine level serving coffee and good eats. This library loans CD's. Yes. As you are undoubtedly wondering, they do have selections by Todd Rundgren, in fact there's a best of compilation with 37 tracks entitled, "Go Ahead, Try and Ignore Me." No way Todd. No can do. Check out Alden. No books. Just sweets.

So, you're about as antipodal as you can get from Norway, but yet you have arrived at your Valhalla.
Also, check out the guy by the escalator. I wonder if his reading habits are a good reflection of him.
Sounds like you died and went to Book Heaven. Sonds wonderful! Beats the dickens out of either the Brewster or the St. Pete Beach libraries.
Cal says, "I thought Alden didn't like chocolate!"
