Steele Memorial Library

I have a large soft spot in my heart for libraries… but not this one. I’ve been in several times to print off resumes and every time it’s the same thing: no one smiles, offers to help, and no greeting.
I had a couple questions during my time there and each time I would walk up to the counter and the librarian (or aid) would ignore me and stare blankly into the computer screen… come on? You ‘can’t’ see me?
I finally got a letter stating my new permanent address in the area and went to get a library card… what-​a-​joke. The two employees at the check-​out counter made me feel like I was putting a burden on them. At one point, I almost told the male employee to forget it and walk out.
I woke up this same morning excited to go get a library card in my new town, as I am a lover of books. But this facility made all that excitement go down the drain — fast.
