Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I haven’t ventured very far from home since mid-March; who has? But, I
have been back and forth to Town Hall quite a bit, and recently noticed a
sign out in front of the library regarding long over-due library books.
I’ve had two John Curtis Free Library books in my house since March, and
was fully prepared to get down on one knee to beg for forgiveness (and
simultaneously open my wallet wide) when I returned them. I knew the staff
had been furloughed, and was ready to consider my substantial fines my
contribution toward getting them back in-house. :)
Low-and-behold, a minor miracle of coronovirus impact reasonableness
greeted me this week. The sign says that the John Curtis Library is not
yet open, but the book drop is. And guess what? No fines! No fines all
month! Until June 30th! I quickly stopped at home and grabbed one of my
long-overdue books and dropped it in the book drop, and made an internal
pledge to finish the other one this week. Amnesty is sweet!
While I was visiting the book drop in the back of the library, I was
reminded of another small miracle. There were several whole carts of books
simply available for the taking. Yup, help yourself! Free!
With grateful thanks to the good folks at the John Curtis Library…it
truly is the John Curtis FREE Library this month!
