It&#39;s a nice space and convenient enough to work and home that weaning myself off of Amazon.com + prime shipping should be painless. <br /></p><p>Books I borrowed today:</p><p> </p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d64604a" at:format="small" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-small book-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item book-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/book/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d64604a.html"><img src="http://a4.vox.com/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d64604a-120pi" alt="Pig Perfect : Encounters with Remarkable Swine and Some Great Ways to Cook Them" title="Pig Perfect : Encounters with Remarkable Swine and Some Great Ways to Cook Them" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/book/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d64604a.html" title="Pig Perfect : Encounters with Remarkable Swine and Some Great Ways to Cook Them">Pig Perfect : Encounters with Remarkable Swine and Some Great Ways to Cook Them</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251d8f4f8e1d" at:format="small" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-small book-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item book-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/book/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251d8f4f8e1d.html"><img src="http://a7.vox.com/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251d8f4f8e1d-120pi" alt="The Big Oyster : History on the Half Shell" title="The Big Oyster : History on the Half Shell" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/book/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251d8f4f8e1d.html" title="The Big Oyster : History on the Half Shell">The Big Oyster : History on the Half Shell</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p> </p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d2a549d" at:format="small" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-small book-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item book-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/book/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d2a549d.html"><img src="http://a2.vox.com/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d2a549d-120pi" alt="What to Eat" title="What to Eat" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/book/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251c9d2a549d.html" title="What to Eat">What to Eat</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p><br /></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/post/library-reading.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00b8ea068718dece00c2251d8f668e1d?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> library san francisco mission bay http://alaina.vox.com/library/post/library-vs-amazon.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(Alaina) http://alaina.vox.com/library/post/library-vs-amazon.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://alaina.vox.com/library/post/library-vs-amazon.html?_c=feed-rss-full Sat, 10 Jun 2006 17:12:20 -0400 <p>I&#39;ve been thinking that I should start using the library more often, but I am convenience challenged. It&#39;s easy enough to reserve a book through the <a href="http://sfpl.lib.ca.us/sfplonline/">library&#39;s online catalog</a>, but then I have to go and pick it up. The downtown location is close, but off my beaten path. So instead I end up ordering the book from Amazon and it shows up 2 days later. Convenient, except that I don&#39;t really need to own as many books as I do. This is a roundabout way of saying that I&#39;m super excited that the <a href="http://sfpl.lib.ca.us/librarylocations/branches/missionbay.htm">Mission Bay branch is opening July 8th</a>, close enough to work and home that I&#39;ll use it regularly. Hooray!<br /></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://alaina.vox.com/library/post/library-vs-amazon.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00b8ea068718dece00c10e0f930cd3b4?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> library san francisco mission bay
