My library card arrived yesterday, and this morning I walked over and activated it. I borrowed four books, put two more on hold, and used the printer to get a W-9 form to send one of my freelance clients (our own printer is in transit, and probably won't be one of the first things we want to deal with when unpacking).
It seems like a nice library; it's handier to the temporary housing than to the place we will actually be living, but it looks as though I can get there conveniently on the 550 bus, if I am carrying a lot of books or just don't feel like walking that far.
I feel significantly more settled, because of both having some actual books in this apartment—I am not yet in the habit of using the kindle at home, and aside from that, it doesn't look like a book when I glance around the living room&mash;and because of the library card on my key chain. (I took the NYPL off a couple of days after we got here.)
