Judy, I'm so sorry to hear about your NLS troubles. I'm outraged to hear that
someone would dare presume to tell you what's appropriate for your reading
level. How insulting! Does your state library system use the site klas.com ? If
so, you can work around your librarian completely and even control what order
and how many books you get at once. You do have to get your user name and
password from your library, but that takes a short phone call to set it up. I
almost never get a series out of order anymore, and I don't get books that I
wouldn't ever want to read. I'm still muttering under my breath about that
librarian and the cheek of it all. I think I need to channel my outrage into
scanning a book. I wish I had one of the books you've put on the wish list
right now. I'd scan it for the sheer stubbornness of being able to do it. My
dad is doing a library pick-up for me soon, and he says he won't bring books
home till I stop running a fever. So I will have to content myself with working
on something I have here. Oh, and in case my dad's approach sounds high-handed,
it is, and yet he knows me well. If I had a stack of library books here, I'd be
pushing myself to get them done because of the deadline for returning them. So
while I'm grumbling about it, deep down I understand it and don't really mind.

I still have problems with NLS. Sometimes they'll send me only three books
over an eight week period, and at other times I'll get twelve books in the mail
on the same day! My regional library has a librarian who likes to over-ride my
preferences and send me books she thinks will "expand" my horizons, and I
absolutely hate her preferences. When I've talk to her and asked her to stop
it, she's always saying that I'm reading books that are below my reading level.
Well, yes, I sometimes do check out something other than "War and Peace" or
"The Brothers Kamarazov!" Smile. I happen to enjoy a good story regardless of
the supposed reading level. I finally complained to the other staff and got a
request list set up to prevent anything else from slipping in, as my
non-leisure reading is often highly technical scientific research journals and
I want my leisure reading to be fun!
