Love, love, love this piece. I admit to choosing the way of the hermit in this age when I can travel the world from my computer. It's easy to stay at home in the quiet of my pretty little home office, but your informative and entertaining piece makes me want to get out and support my own community library again. (Like you, I am a "dinosaur," in my mid-sixties.)

Thank you for the nudge and the reminder that being part of a community is important.
