Since when is it harder to get a library card then a drivers license??

Not at all impressed with my new library.

A little background information; I love libraries. However, I'm not the best at following all the rules of the library. Like returning my books on time; or sometimes not returning them at all. I've been banned (seriously banned) from 3 libraries.

I was hopeful that my new library in my new town would be the turning point. No more returning books late, no more losing books, no more keeping movies 5 months past the time they were due either.

So I go to this new library to turn over my new library leaf. The librarian wouldn't let me get a card! Ever notice how librarians seem to be almost drunk with power? Apparently having a drivers license with my address on it isn't enough. I also needed a utility bill mailed to my address. Well this was a problem because all of our utilities are included in our rent, hence no bills mailed to us. So now I have to wait for the library to mail something to me so I can get it, bring it in, and prove that I live where my DRIVERS LICENSE says I do.

Gotta watch out for all those library bandits....

(Also, you have to pay to rent DVD's from this library, isn't that what we pay taxes for?)
