A few years ago, I discovered that I could request books from my local library and they would be waiting for me at the check out counter. What a time saver! I could take the kids to the library and they could choose a few books and I could pick up books I had already chosen. No more dragging the kids through rows and rows of books, begging them to use a library voice. We were all happy!
The next level...requesting books and picking them up from the library's DRIVE THRU window!!! What bliss. Now I don't have to fight with the stroller and keep track of the kiddos. Just me, the computer, and the drive thru!! Here is one of our local libraries. Complete with drive thru check out, flat screen tvs in the glass walled conference rooms, and a cafe.

Want to talk lazy... the library in the next town over (for which I have a library car too) mails your requested books to you at no additional charge. But I do feel a bit guilty about this so I don't use it often.
That sounds awesome! Wish they had it here!
I too appreciate the wonder that is the library website. I almost OVER use that service. But, we don't have drive thru. I'm totally jealous.
Yes Nance, having my books mailed to me would be wonderful. Especially if return envelopes were included!!
Sometimes I do feel like I request too many books, but the alternative is having my kids whinny and loud. So, maybe it's a service they WANT me to use to keep the ambiance.
