Source of knowledge and entertainment. (Thankful List Day 7)

Growing up in Malaysia, I was never impressed with the state of our libraries. The so-called public libraries were an embarrassment, school libraries were practically non-existent.

So, imagine our surprise when Jon and I first stepped into one of many Fort Worth library branches. They had pretty much every book you were looking for, and if they didn't, you could most certainly request for it from one of their many branches, or from a neighbouring city. Multitudes of DVDs were available for a week at a time, ranging from early Hollywood films, to movies released just a couple of months before. And if they didn't have it in their system, you could jolly well request that they purchase it. Imagine that!!

We still catch the occasional movie on the big screen when the rare blue moon appears. But mostly, we've been very fortunate to expand on our seen movie list without forking out a single penny, thanks to the tax payers of Fort Worth. Which....includes me and Jon.

Rats! >_<
