From One Library to Another

Image
I've been working:      In the building pictured here for 37 years now. Of course, it's larger in real life, though not much larger...      That's one of the reasons the city'll be tearing the Balboa Branch Library down here in a few weeks and sending me over to work at the Mariners Branch till they get the new building built, a project that they estimate will take a year and a half. I'll miss the old place, but not the bugs that've been eating the wall, the leaks that've been trickling through the ceiling, or the lack of electrical outlets that've made things more and more interesting as folks've started bringing their own devices here, looking to plug in and use them or charge them.      February 28th is the last day we're open to the public as a library, then the next weekend, the Friends of the Library will be holding a big book sale on the premises, letting folks pay to take home armloads of books a...
