Library in Somerset
There are two competing library systems in Somerset: the libraries of Somerset County, and the libraries of Franklin Township. According to the librarian at a Somerset County branch the two split up in the 1970's and went their own ways. Since we live on Pierce Street, in the town of Somerset, we weren't welcome in the Somerset County branch, but tonight we were gracefully accepted by the libraries of Franklin Township.
We went to the main library on DeMott street, in a beautiful new facility which looks like it opened last week. In fact it's been in use for almost five years. We applied for a card and borrowed some books for our vacation.
I love libraries. I browsed through this one and found that there were even some Dutch books on the shelves: three, to be precise. All three translations into Dutch from American and British authors, incidentally.

I guess I need some maps to understand this... :-)
(Maybe that is where Google Wave comes in handy? There must be some use for that...!)

It's complicated! ;)
I haven't found a good use for Google Wave either. A few weeks ago I started using Google Docs to collaborate on documents and I like that a lot.
