I am a fan of public libraries. It seems no matter where you go: Austin, Portland, Boise,…read moreDallas...it's always the same scene. Crazy people ranting, children, fat old people, and awkward teenagers. And me! I get a little shiver of excitement when I walk in the doors. Especially if it's an old building in the middle of a neighborhood. It's like coming home, even if it's my first time. So imagine my dismay when I realized I've been living in Dallas for almost six months and haven't gotten a library card! Shoot, I just figured out where the durn thing was last weekend when I went for a bike ride! So I put on my Mom Shorts and pink helmet and hit the road. I also made sure to pack "proof of my address" and a driver's license. Unfortunately, libraries are sticklers about this. But if you're a resident of Dallas, it's free! Didja hear me?? FREEEE! My Lakewood Branch is just fabulous. Sometimes, librarians can be mean. I dunno why, my own mother is one, I guess they just get embittered that no one reads anymore and children are obese Wii-playing brats. But these ladies were nice. There was an interesting selection of DVDs, that's for sure. The entire series of "The Waltons" was there...you can betcha I'll be hitting that one up! Also three copies of the Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards classic, "Blonde and Blonder." I actually almost rented that, but realized there are so many quality films out there that I simply can't waste my time with such drivel. So I rented The Quiet Man, The Flamingo Kid, and The Big Easy. Love my Dennis Quaid! Book-wise, I settled on Leonard Nemoy's son's memoir. It's all about his addiction and alcoholism. I can't wait! Support your local library, avoid Barnes & Noble and Blockbuster and all that other shite. Git down heeyah!

They seem to get some adult fiction, biographies, bestsellers, but the selection is not great or consistent. The website is not user friendly (or accurate) at all. If you try to renew a book online, it actually deducts days from your original due date for some peculiar reason. When I called library staff about it, they were mostly unhelpful. The last time I went in to pick up a book, I was ignored by 2 young people just sitting around talking/laughing. I had to walk over to another staff member who was doing other work to get checked out. This used to be a MUCH better run library. Not sure what has happened, but I'll be driving over to the next city for books from now on, even though this library is several blocks away. It's a shame.
