Monday Steven and I went to the used book sale at Frankfort Public Library, 123 South Frankfort St.
The library is in a stone building located near a park. The book sale covered two tables. Several boxes of free magazines were on the floor. I almost got excited when I saw the name A. Scott Berg, my favorite biographer, on three books. Alas, it was three copies of Kate Remembered, which I recently bought at a rummage sale (which I may have mentioned in a blog post). Excitement returned when I found a hard cover copy of Murder for Christmas, an anthology which I have in paperback and read every December. A glance at the table of contents confirmed my hope that the hardcover contained stories not found in the paperback. I informed Steven that he was buying it for me, to which he graciously agreed.
While I perused the rest of the library, looking for something to borrow for free, Steven decided to purchase a DVD of Zorro and an old fashioned post card. Having thus spent all our cash at the library (we only had three bucks between us), we hurried back home to the fans. I mean the electric fans, although I guess you could say that our dog is our number one fan.
It was so hot Monday I actually though of not venturing out at all and writing my whole blog post about the temperature and humidity. It doesn’t sound like much fun, although I like to say, “Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it.” I say it in a really air-headed voice. One time my dad pointed out to me, they do so do something about it: they stay inside with the air conditioning or they put snow tires on their car, depending. I stand corrected.
Come to think of it, going to the library is a great thing to do on a hot day. You can sit in the air conditioning and read about Antarctica. Or do what I did and buy a a nice book about murder to read next Christmas.
Franklin Public Library is open 2 to 8 pm Monday and Wednesday, 11 am to 8 pm Tuesday and Thursday and 3 to 7 pm Friday, 11 am to 2 pm Saturday. Closed Saturdays June through August. Movies are offered Thursdays and Fridays at 6 pm. For more information call 894-9611.
