Yesterday on the shuttle the two guys across from me started talking about libraries. (I'm guessing they either noticed the public library we passed or one of our old ads for Summer Reading flashed across the bus's light-up advertising marquee.) Since I can't actually write anything intelligible while riding on the bus, here's my brain-fuddled, day-later rendition.

One guy said he'd forgotten about libraries and found himself thinking that if he wanted a book, he'd have to buy it. The other started saying how great libraries were. The first mentioned that it was strange to him that in college everyone went to the library--he didn't and was sort of afraid of the library. The second said that he'd used the library a lot in college. The first said he'd like the library when he was in elementary school. They both concluded that libraries are actually kind of cool. The second said, "More people should go to libraries."

It would have made a great library promotional YouTube video.
