Salutations, dear reader. My name is Gertrude Finkelstein and I am a woman with a rather important story to share with you. I was born in the City of Woodward, Oklahoma, in 1977, to a Jewish American family of German and Polish descent. In the summer of 1995 I moved to Boston, Massachusetts, to study at Northeastern University. I earned a Master's degree in...
I wasn't sure what to expect coming in to the library that morning, I mean my relationship with the head librarian had substantially changed in the last two days. Besides me calling her Denise, which I am not entirely used to, I now need to figure out the whole bit about our sexual relationship. I had pretty much decided to keep myself busy working or once a...
This small area is located next to the public library in town. Now, no one at the library would be surprised to see me sitting there as I was an avidly regular patron. My Sir thought that I needed a new kind of memory to associate with the library. To provide that I had gotten an email from Sir a few days ago telling me that on my next day off I was to put i...
My friends and I used our local public library to do our homework when we were studying for our A-levels back in the 70's before the internet, it was our solution to being able to share ideas and help each other get the best results we could. Our local library was not very big, only open till 9 pm with 2 or 3 staff on duty week-day evenings when we mostly...
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world; it is appeased by love. This is an eternal Law," I read out loud. I looked up at my study partner. "Who said that?" Erik asked me. We were at the university library, studying for our term papers for our Philosophy of Love class. "Buddha," I said. I had a stack of books before me on ancient eastern philosoph...
First story, let me know what you think and if you notice any errors. Shea was new to Toron, a small town of a few thousand. It was relatively quaint and quiet, something Shea believed she needed after running a library in a bustling city of two million. It was a nice change with many large green lawns and towering hardwood trees draping their leaves over a...
The one joy Lauren had every week to unwind, was her trip to the library on Saturday. The first weekend, she dumped her papers from work unceremoniously on the floor and then went to the pile of books she had by her bed and began to stuff the nearly twenty books into her briefcase. With a quick reluctant look at her checkbook, she knew she would also have to...
Chapter Twenty-Two The lights of the library snapped on at once. Amanda sucked in air as the sudden change of scenery sent chills through her as her body readjusted. The book she had started to read lay at her feet, almost in the condition she found it in. She was dressed as she was before, but wrapped around her left hand, and tied at her wrist with a knot...
My friends had all gone on summer holidays as soon as school had ended. I had aced my classes and didn't have to write exams. That meant I had time on my hands. Time I put to good use in the local library. Our local branch library is an old brick building jammed with shelves full of children's books, popular paperbacks, hard covers, as well as reading tabl...
He was a librarian. Not a very common profession for a young man, but he didn't mind it too much. It was a relaxing job for a second year grad student who needed to eat and pay bills. He was able to work, study, and make a modest living all at the same time, the only real shame about this job is how much of his free time it took up. The librarian pushed hi...
