I'm an Information Ninja

I did it you guys. I went to the library the other week and I got myself a library card. Who am I?! I never use the library. I have nothing against people who use the library - in fact, I think they are quite genius in doing so, seeing as how books from the library are FREE. BUT...I just like to own my books. And I don't like to have to wait my turn for a certain book. And I definitely don't like to have time constraints placed on when I read said book. "Oh, it's my turn to read this book now? But I have to pick it up tomorrow and I have to read it before three weeks is over?"  What if I'm in the middle of a really good book? How do you library-goers prioritize your book reading then? And what if it's a really good book that you want to own - do you purchase your own copy afterwards?

But I digress. I got myself a library card. And it is the coolest library card I have ever seen. Check it out:

I'm an Information Ninja. I freakin' love it.

Of course, I didn't check anything out that day. Let's not get crazy now. Baby steps for this library-virgin. So, why then, did I even get a library card? The short answer: audiobooks. The long answer: I've been trying to listen to audiobooks when I'm driving around in the car - which some days, is a lot. My first audiobook experience was pretty much a fail and took me almost 6 months to complete. But, I'm determined to develop a love for audiobooks. The thing is though, audiobooks are crazy expensive, and I don't listen to enough audiobooks to make it worthwhile to get an account on audible. I knew you could take out audiobooks from the library, but I never realized how great their selection actually is. So, for once, it finally made sense for me to get a library card.

Last week, I even went back to the library and actually checked something out:
