Join your local Friends of the Library group. Maybe they call it something else, but they probably have some kind of support group. If they don't have one, start one.
It's a great way to promote literacy and reading in your community. They can use your help. And besides feeling good because you DID something good, there are other side benefits.
You get to know the staff and they get to know you. One big happy family. And then you can do this:
"Foley Public Library" "Hey, Jan?" "No, it's Donna." Oh, hi Donna, how ya doin'. It's trof." "Hi trof. What's goin on?" "Can you renew a book for me?" "Sure, just a sec." "Thanks. I checked it out to read on vacation and got too busy vacationing to read it. Just started it and it's due back today." "OK, got it. Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars?" "That's it." "Good book. OK, it's due back the 16th. Enjoy." "Thanks, Bye" (OK, this was pretty much non-political. ;-))
