A true n00b

I didn't have an Aussie childhood so local libraries don't mean much to me. In an effort to find somewhere to study without distractions like the t.v, the couch and jewellery, a friend and I decided to make our way down to the council library. 

Over excited about the prospects of being in a new place, we arrived at the library too early in the pouring rain. Seeing us in strife huddling under one umbrella and peering anxiously through the glass doors, the librarian kindly opened up and welcomed us in.

I was very nervous worried about the coffee and drinks we had brought in with us - apparently that is allowed!

Then I thought we needed evidence to prove that we were from the area to obtain a library card - apparently that is not required.

Then I thought we had to pay a fee to borrow books - that is not required either! So this is why we pay council rates! Complete n00b!

The library is nice and clean - I like! And now I am contemplating actually borrowing books and returning on my way home from work. If you're in the Stonnington area, there is a new library up and running in Prahran...

Prahran Library - might make a trip to this newly refurbished library

Maybe this n00b will find out more interesting facts about local libraries today :)
