Best Times Alone 4

As a librarian, you would think I’d have enough of libraries, but I’m always interested in visiting libraries on vacation. Even in my home state of Florida. So libraries in Japan- even better! In 2013, I had a chance to check out a little library in Kyoto. Looked it up, used my Nexus tablet map/GPS to find it, bam!
Checked out the picture books, the only thing I can even partially read. Then settled down to read a book I brought with me. There weren’t many chairs, but a few in front of the stacks. And lo and behold, a scene from my everyday life! A Japanese dude answers his phone and talks in a normal voice, not even trying to keep it down. Then a staff member shuffles over and gives a whispered little Japanese statement to him, obviously something like, “I’m sorry, you can only use cell phones outside.” I had to strain not to laugh out loud. It was my life in a parallel world.
