And yes, we passed the library ballot measure this past week. Apparently I'm not the only one who loves the library...

I am jealous, jealous, jealous. Ventura closed one of its two libraries this year, and one of our county's libraries just went private/corporate (with more to come). I could swallow it if there were a strong circulation of books, but alas, no.
Read for the both of us!!
