I need to get to the library this week to renew my library card at my new/old library here in Atlanta. Because my old library card back in Seattle got cancelled. The post office change of address let them know that I was no longer a resident. And darn, because they had a good ebook collection. So we’ll see about the new place. I’ve discovered that I use the library a lot more when I actually work in it. I’m not sure whether that’s because I can usually convince someone to buy the books I want, or just the convenience. Picking your stuff up is easy when you’re there everyday!

Nice haul! Owl and the Japanese Circus was a great read. I thought about grabbing the Dick Wolf and Beth Cato titles as well, but I have some catching up to do in both series.

I’ve heard good things about OWL, but I’ll confess I have to catch up with both the Wolf and Cato series myself. So many books, so little time!
I haven’t even thought about checking my old library card. We moved this past summer and even though the new library has a lot of physical books, they don’t have any ebooks. 🙁

My new library is a bit disappointing too. I’ll probably end up paying for a card at the nearby bigger library, because they have a better selection. But there were a couple of books (the new Jayne Ann Krentz) that I will read in any format, so now I have them on hold.
I definitely imagine that it’s convenient to borrow more books from the library when you’re actually there. My library isn’t THAT out of the way, but if I worked there then I’d definitely utilize it more. I’m not familiar with the books that you got this week, but I hope you enjoy them!

I know the feeling of a library card being cancelled, since my Decatur card expired in October 2014. But, I am on the opposite side of the fence here. While I did indeed love the Decatur Public Library in Alabama ( http://www.decatur.lib.al.us/ , https://www.facebook.com/DecaturPublicLibrary ), it just can’t compare at all with what we have here in Spokane, WA. In Spokane, we get a card for the City Libraries (Spokane Public Library: http://www.spokanelibrary.org/ , https://www.facebook.com/spokanelibrary ), which has 6 libraries and a separate card to the County Libraries (Spokane County Library District: http://www.scld.org/ , https://www.facebook.com/SpokaneCountyLibraryDistrict ), which has 10 libraries. 13 of the libraries can be reached by bus, so I am happy. I don’t know about the eBook collection here, but there are lots of physical copies available.
Is there a possible way you might could buy a non-resident card for Seattle, and still use the eBook library where you live now? Some libraries do that, I think.
