Summer is coming

It's already hot and I have too much fur. At the library this will mean a thousand people will flock in each day. Over half of them will want to use the computer and half of those will not even know how to work a mouse. The librarians won't have time to teach them because they will be busy entertaining the children and listening to people tell fiction stories of why, once again, they were late with their DVDs and how they pay their taxes and the librarians salaries so should not have to pay any fines ever. Children will throw fits. People will complain because they couldn't get into a program because they couldn't find a parking spot. More words will be said about how library users pay taxes. A busload of kids wearing identical t-shirts will come in with two adults and tear the place apart. Spinning book racks will fling books. Pages will be ripped out of easy books. Comics will disappear in seconds. The feeding frenzy is over. The library closes. The librarians drink until they pass out at home.
