RIP library timestamps



When Andrew brought home a Stephen King book from the library, I picked it up from his nightstand and immediately flipped to the inside page to find that cute little card with the due date stamps.

Then he gave me his, oh-you-silly-Tori face.

“They haven’t had those for ages!” he said. “It’s all computerized now. They just scan it and give you a receipt.”

“WHAT!” was my reply.

I couldn’t believe it! I was deeply saddened by this news. Call me old-fashioned, but I loved checking those inky numbers to see the history of people who had read the book before me. How did I miss this technology leap?? Do some libraries still have the stamps? I'd like to believe so.

Maybe I need this library kit from one of my favorite online stores, UncommonGoods…or this funny shirt. Lol.
