Hi, I live 30 miles south of San Francisco and find every time I go to Sutro Library the book I want is loaned out. They never know when it is due back either. Another bad thing about this library is they require you return the book in person. Last time I mailed it back to them, insured and properly wrapped they told me I could never take out a book if I did this again. Bummer. Rosemary >From: "Sandra E. T.

This came from another list and thought others would be interested. Patti Got this from a My Family.com Website.
