Truly just wondering.<br /><br />I've become a bit leery about bringing home books from the library OR from 2nd hand bookstores ever since someone I know got bedbugs from a book she bought at one of the best-known second-hand bookstores in NYC.<br /><br />I also worry about picking up bedbugs from sitting at the library. I'm probably just paranoid, but that's why I wonder about whether libraries get checked for bedbugs.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-66537987594533648032018-08-01T12:51:49.723-04:002018-08-01T12:51:49.723-04:00@9:06 - what a wonderful story!@9:06 - what a wonderful story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-71133759408420516732018-08-01T11:23:54.090-04:002018-08-01T11:23:54.090-04:00This place is the best - a lot has to do with the ...This place is the best - a lot has to do with the people that work there - <br />they are people friendly !<br />They are super nice and accommodating - Going To Miss Them !East Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084695180171422869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-55390703811615267982018-08-01T10:21:33.471-04:002018-08-01T10:21:33.471-04:00Thanks for sharing this!Thanks for sharing this!Grievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382814579232675060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-90809273019677626942018-08-01T10:12:49.240-04:002018-08-01T10:12:49.240-04:00Come back to us soon, Ottendorfer!

He apologized profusely after he aggressively ran into me without looking. We began talking after I berated him, he gave me his number, we had a date, and the rest is history. Every year, on the day we met, on Feb 9th, we visit the library together, and check out a book. I hope this special place reopens in time for our anniversary. I also didn't realize how old it truly was. Remarkable and beautiful at the same time.
