A day at the libraries

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

My number two son and number three child had to go for job training in Cobb County yesterday. Instead of driving back home I dcside to go to a local library and get some work done. The first libray was a small branch one. It had a lot of business, and so small I almost felt in the way. Later that afternoon I went to check out the main library. I could only stay a few minutes before I had to pick up Zach. I found a booth and was reading through my manuscript.  Two men, not gentlemen, stood leaning against the booth next to mine talking like they were at a football game. They were standing right over me almost.This library was busy also making is difficult to move easily. I finally said,” Guys do you mind.” My tone sounded a little put out I’m sure. There was no apologiy offer. One moved on. The other stayed a minute and had the nerve to say, “Nothing we were doing was bothering you.” I just looked at him in disbelief. He said the same line again before he move on to talk to his buddy a little ways away from me. Whatever happening to being quiet in a library?
