Afternoon all,

Welcome to a brand-new Library #2 Haul!

Yep, the last library to open up and of course I had to visit it. Thankfully my hubby could make some time to drive me to near the library so I could grab some new books. I had a list of 60 books, and with 4 still at home, I could get 56 books if I could find everything. Yep, I made a list, just like I did with Library #3. They specified that they don’t want people to look around for books and constantly grab and put them back, they want people to go for books they want or reserve books. Sadly, not everyone got the notice it seems as I had to patiently quite a few times to wait at a 1.5 metres distance from people who took their time browsing.

It was a bit chaotic at the library I have to be honest. They did some tape here and there and routes, but some of the routes just weren’t practical. Especially at two computers for the bringing of books and the loaning of books. They have had weeks to get things to be organised, and yet they were still planning routes and hanging up signs today.

Also, some people don’t get the 1.5 metre distance. Even at the library. One lady grumbled at me about me being afraid when I had to dodge her. I told her that there was the 1.5 metre distance thing and the only thing I got back was more grumbling. rolls her eyes

I am also still the only person with something covering my face, which just feels weird and makes me wonder why I go through the effort.

I had fun walking around the library again, it was a delight to be back after 2 and a half months. Seeing all the books again. Picking out books that are on my list, checking my phone as things weren’t to be found. My trolley bag and the basket I had to carry quickly got fuller and fuller until the point I just wanted a shopping cart instead. 😛

I got a lot of books, but again, I don’t know if we will go in a new lockdown, plus with my mental health I don’t go outside much. There is a 4 week borrowing time, so I got some time to read.

STATS: 54 books. 9 non-fiction, 1 picture book, 44 fiction (a lot of crime/thriller/mystery).

NOTE: There are 2 books missing on Goodreads, I will add them when I feel better again. I am totally knackered at the moment.
