Book Takes A Round Trip (almost)

Those of you who've been following my reading lists know that
I've been reading (among other things) Leah Klein's "B.Y. Times" series. What you may not have known, since I didn't mention it, is that I only had the first 9 books in the series.
"Had", not "have", because I recently ordered #10 (The New Kids) from a bookstore located in Indiana.
Well, the book came in yesterday's mail, and it turned out to be a discarded library book. I turned to the inside back cover, and burst out laughing, because the book came from:
BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY
SHEEPSHEAD BAY BRANCH
That library is not far from where I live; I used to go there all the time. I may even have
taken out this very book from there at one time. It's rather a pity that there is no list of borrowers!

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
