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