An ode to my library

Dear local library system,
I love you. No, really, there is no bad here. I love you.
Your on-line catalogue that allows me to renew things and, most importantly, put things on hold from my sofa is lovely. I particularly appreciate the free holds because paying for every hold (I think it was a couple of pounds, last time I used the the order system in my parents' bit of England) always put me off actually putting things on hold. So I rarely had books held in England and if there was nothing in the library that I fancied then I'd wander off and buy something.
I'm actually using you, my beloved local library, because I can get pretty much anything I might want with no problems at all.
Whoever manages your comics and graphic novels collection is amazing. So far, I've only found one thing that you didn't stock and I can ask you to order it if I really need it. I'm waiting to see what comes in my Hugo packet before doing that :-D
Lovely local library, you may have some careless patrons who ruin all the DVDs and CDs for the rest of us but for printed material, you are the bomb.
Much love,
Me
