I have a certain fear of libraries, especially the book stacks at Luther Seminary. It could be too many years of being hushed every time I was in the library with friends, or it could be the fact that every time I checkout a library book I end up with a large fine.
I'm not sure what it is but I feel like I whole new person this semester. I spend hours a week at the county library, which has lime green accents and a coffee shop. I also went into the book stacks at Luther Seminary for the first time the other day. I even made it all the way to the eighth floor al by myself.
And the biggest accomplishment of them all, I checked out my first book from the seminary library. It is not due back until April giving me plenty of time to lose it and rack up a fine.
What is the book that got me in the library?
Betwixt and Between: Patterns of Masculine and Feminine Initiation
I'm currently taking a course that is looking at the rites of Christian Initiation. I've been fascinated with the parallels I see between Christian initiation in the early church and that of sororities and fraternities.

Interesting point...You're so smart. Maybe you could share your findings a little more?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, about the library thing. I'm avoiding our public library and their calls because I owe them around $30, and am not ready to pay it yet. Sometimes, I think you and I were put in each others paths, because I needed to be reminded that being messy, forgetting to return things (on time or otherwise) and mailing greeting cards late is still so very love-able. And boy, do I love you, Sandy. :-).
