sethrakUpside: UMUC's online librarian function let me chat with someone who gave me some useful book titles, and informed me possession of a Pikes Peak Library District library card means I can check out up to five books from University of Colorado - Colorado Springs. In future, given two weeks' lead time, I can also order books from the UMUC campus library sent to me, and send them back, for no charge.
Downside: I do not yet have a PPLD card. And both boys are sound asleep - I would say finally as they've been picklepusses all afternoon, but right now it's detrimental.
So. I have, thanks to the UMUC librarian, printed the application for PPLD, and filled it out. I have the transcript of our chat printed, so I can get the right titles easily. I just need to whisk the boys off to the nearest public library, get the card, and if time permits, go to UCCS and get books from them. With Zodlings in tow. Freshly woken Zodlings, most likely, which means highly ill-tempered Zodlings.
Yeah. SO going to be careful what class, if any, I take next fall. Even with both boys in school starting this fall, this will be almost as nuts as it is now.
