Just Say No

Please, for the love of all that's reasonable, just say no to the proposed Airport Library. It's a terrible idea! The people working at the library are in a large, glass enclosure like ticket booths of old. Our computer monitors hang from the ceiling, and when the departures and arrivals are not scrolling, THAT'S when we are allowed to access a person's account and check out a book.
I was trying to update a card for a wonderful, patient older woman, and got fed up trying to access the library database. I suggest we walk over to a desk, that had a computer, out in the airport. As we were walking, I ran into a friend of Erika's, who told me she was packed and ready to leave for college. I was surprised by that, as she hadn't said anything to me. I whispered to him, "Did you meet the...ah...ghosts?" (Please refer to last dream--"Meet Ghost Family") Yes, he had, and thought they were really nice. He wandered off.
I hadn't forgotten the patient older woman. We continued our walk across the airport concourse, and somehow ended up on a very elegant tram--it was wooden, with red velvet seats--that took us toward the gate area. Surprisingly, I did not lose my shit, but I'm afraid that the poor woman never got to check out a book that day in Dreamland.
Airport Library? Just say "no".

[Who knew there's actually a Library in the Philadelphia Airport??! I'm sure they have all the "kinks" worked out....]
