mycentraljersey.com is reporting that Somerville will be joining the Somerset County library system. I don't know enough about the history on this to know why we weren't *always* part of the Somerset County system, but it seems like a reasonable enough thing to do.
I only got my library card a few months ago, despite living in Somerville for more than ten years. And I haven't actually used the card yet. I have a kind of sentimental attachment to libraries, since I used our public library in Roselle Park quite often as a kid, and because my brother Pat was a librarian.
I get most of my books through
BookMooch or
SwapTree now, or on the Kindle, so I don't actually have much use for the library, but I'm glad we have one.
