Professor Laws...in the library...with the books

Haha...Professor Laws does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it!?

Last night I went to the Oklahoma State University Library to get some books for a paper I'm writing. I know it's sad, but I haven't been to the library since I left Kansas City. So what? I'm not much of a book worm...but I appreciate the knowledge I gain when I do read.

Anyway, I went to the library on a mission. I needed some books to write a leadership paper for class. In the usual Robin style, I ask the first knowledgeable person I saw where to start. They directed me to the computer system to look up books and assisted me in finding some documents that might be useful in my paper. I always feel silly asking for help, as sometimes I'm sure they are thinking..."you can fly a plane, but not find a simple book?!" But I don't care. I am always willing to ask for help...besides...they are getting paid to be there, so they might as well be helping a person like me and feel they have earned their wages, right? : ) I always thought that once you have the reference number for a book, it is somewhat easy to find, even if it is written in some cryptic code. Maybe some day I will master the library system. Until then, I will continue to ask my friends at the library for assistance. : D

I left the library just in time. There was a storm moving through the area last night. It produced a shower of hail, followed by LOTS of rain. I'm glad that the company we rent our house from had the siding re-done and resealed the windows. We stayed nice and dry.

PS: I was discussing my library encounter with a coworker this morning. She suggested I take a library tour. Who does that?! Aisle after Aisle, there are books....what is there to see?! haha...but then again...I did go to space camp...who does that!?
