Bookends

With the predictable resurgence of COVID infections last fall, our local library went to curbside pickup (previously, they'd been allowing patrons into the lobby to pick up holds). I just swung by for a couple of brain cleansers and was pleasantly surprised by a line item they've recently added to email receipts:

You just saved $72.05 by using your library today and $203.25 this past year!

That's some clever incentivizing right there.
