I Was Wrong

In a previous post, I said these words: "You should rejoice that you live in Steubenville .. it has an absolutely FABULOUS library system." Well, I take it back.

I just spent a fourth evening trying to find and request the historical fiction I want to supplement our Medieval studies. And again I find that the library system has flushed all the Catholic books out of the system. No, I'm NOT being paranoid or jumping to conclusions. Don't believe me? Just find a list of all the books Milton Lomask wrote (about 30). Two-thirds of those were biographies of famous Americans, and one-third were biographies of Catholic saints. Sure enough, Ohio has plenty of his books - but not a single one about a saint. This is about the 5th time I've run into this.

What's the deal?

I'm choosing not to become bitter or go to war with the state of Ohio, but I am pondering which path of action is more prudent: I could get a part time job to buy the books I want my kids to read (which means, of course that I'd have to buy a bigger house to put them all), or I could break down and go pay Franciscan's library the $40 I owe in overdue fines so I can borrow from them.

Hmm, what do you think the hubbie will say?
