Concierge Service

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a hotel snob. It's an occupational hazard from my time spent in the hotel world. Traveling the 5 star world for $59 a night will do that. I love a clean bathroom, 500 count sheets and a fluffy robe with slippers to match. And, I love a good concierge. Oh, a good concierge can change your life.

So, now that I am back to being a civilian (and paying $179 for a crappy Marriott), I need a concierge outlet. Well, I have found it. I was actually turned on to it by a friend. And, all of you have it at your disposal, too. It's your local library. I have become a library convert. My reading habit was getting too expensive and once I got over the anxiety of reading a book in 2 weeks, I decided I could handle it. I get to read all the bestsellers along with the books on my "to read" list and I never have to step farther than the front desk at the library. I use the online ordering system. I can hold books, even ones that are housed at my local library, via the online system, hit submit and then wait for the email to come pick them up. Brilliant! All without having to actually spend time in the library, think about Dewey Decimal and hunt down books. Indulgent, I know. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
