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!
