After school today (a teacher inservice day in which I never once had
to remind children to walk in the halls or keep all 4 legs of their
chairs on the floor) I went to the county library to get something to
read while keeping my HP-longing at bay. While standing in line to
check out my pile of books, I overheard the woman in front of me ask
about the HP books. Amazingly enough, I became an unrepentant
eavesdropper!:^) The librarian did the computer search while the lady
asked which book was first "because I'd like to read them in order."
I piped up with the information as well as the obligatory, "You won't
be able to stop once you start reading them." By this time Marian
the Librarian (not her real name, I'm sure, but a little levity makes
the day pass by lightly) reported that most of them were checked out
over in the children's section, but there might be one over in the
*adult* fiction section. The adult fiction section! See, Penny, the
NY Times may not think that HP belongs on the regular bestseller
list, but the Anderson, SC library thinks it belongs in the "regular"
fiction section!
