Since, despite our letters and pleas and our questions at board meetings, the Williamsburg Regional Library is revoking the privileges of out-of-area residents, and since they aren’t even allowing us the option of paying a fee for service, today was the final day for me to use the library I’ve used for parts of the past 13 years.

So today I wrote a thank-you note to the circulation librarians (who’ve always been nice) and walked into the library to check out my final allotment of items.

I also bought a couple of books at their used-book table. The librarian reminded me that, though my borrowing privileges are ending, “you’ll still be able to come in and buy books.”
