Library

We have a library here, run by the Air Force, housed in a temporary building the Army calls Clamshells, and the AF calls Hershey's Kisses. It receives donated books, books that have been read by soldiers, some new books, and places them all on shelves for soldiers and airmen to just take, no checkout involved. I stopped by today, and a shipment of new books had arrived. I picked up a copy of “Old Man and the Sea.” The library does have some hardback books which must be checked out.

It also has a good DVD selection, and a few music CDs. Again, these are for checkout at not cost. The only downside, you only get them for 48 hours.

The Air Force has a sergeant devoted full time to running the library. He is there from 0800 – 1200, and 1300 – 1800. A friendly guy who does a nice job. The library is open 24/7/365, and apparently is a place to go for sweethearts. There are multiple signs outlawing PDAs; public displays of affection. No kisses in the Kisses.
