The Liberry

Today we went to the "Liberry". Yup, the sign really does say "Liberry". It always has and probably always will. Right now it is a little hard to get to the liberry as there is still standing water around it from the "Big Storm". There usually is not a lake in front of it. A few days ago you could not get to it. The water has now gone down just enough for a car to drive around the left side of this picture.
Here you see Linda and Betty entering the liberry. On the table to the right is where you can put anything you don't want. If you see something you can use you just take it. It's the desert's version of a "Goodwill" store.Inside the liberry is very well organized. It reminded me of going to the Bookmobile. The books are all organized by mystery, western, romance and etc. They are on the shelf in alphabetical order by author, so it is very easy to find what you are looking for. They also have games and puzzles. Once again, it's just a matter of taking what you can use. If you have books you are finished with you put them on a return shelf and they add them to the liberry collection. This system seems to work very well for the desert dwellers and it was a fun outing for us. It doesn't take much to keep us happy.
