Service center

-

 Now comes a longer stint, curling around Lake Sammamish, and the rare times I had biked home from work in Issaquah I had not realized how much uphill it was -- easier in this eastward direction, even over big bad I-90 too


& now down, down, down into the ol' familiar {10 years of work worth} Service Center, almost like a reunion..!



Cuz I mean, there's Jan & Samantha & Zack & Katie & Jim & Heather & Vivian & even Kate & Christine, who creatively thought to get my pic with passport in front of the whole daunting county map!:


& then I even got to go downstairs for not just 1 special service center stamp but three {KCLS & PROF & CS! (thanks Shannon!) & then there was Nancy too, and yes, don't worry: I AM now checking out special items at most the branches I am visiting...! Like music CDs for my radio show even! ["Puget Soundz" on KBFG-FM, check it out!]

Too bad others like Wendy & Susy were not around, oh well....

Slept fitfully in anticipation of following days' two year fullfillment (choosing

 Didn't seem so very far next to the wee International District/Chinatown branch (library names replacing dashes with slashes now): with a very appropriate display of tea cups inside:

 Very close to White Center (and methinks, not too far from some of the SW Seattle branches I had biked to which now seemed so long ago already!) I came upon Greenbridge! Not only one of the only branches without their collection online, but also having no music CDs to check out (what sacrilege!) but also about the only branch without a bike stand outside to lock up to...! But at least one staffer inside recognized me from the occ. post about this bike venture I have been putting on the KCLS staff association facebook page!
