Now that summer is in full swing, many of our thoughts go to vacations. Trips to some exotic location, or just to the lake. Visits with family, a great time with friends. Away vacation and stay-cations. But what many of them have in common is a great time where you come home needing a vacation to recouperate from all your activities.
We all live in a busy world filled with events, time, and plans going by, sometimes faster than we can deal with. Work, family (Joey's little league, Mason's camp, Hazel's karate lessons, meals, housework, the lawn). The list seems endless. And when do we shoehorn in a little down time, a little space for yourself? It can be really tough, but it is really important to do so that we have the resources to deal with the pace of life.
So we are doing our little bit to help. We are all aware of how fast a couple of weeks go by - and suddenly that book you wanted to read is already overdue. That makes you even more reluctant to take out a couple books, or more, because they are just more things reminding you of what you haven't gotten to. So we have expanded the month (28 day) circulation period that we have been testing in the children's room to include the majority of books, movies, and music in the adult collection.
Yes, new fiction and movies are still 14 days, but once they aren't new anymore - you get to check them out for a month, and they even renew for a month. Pretty sweet, right?
We hope that this small change will help you out in your hectic life, and allow you the luxury of time and a good read.
