Biblioteket

Rory and I visited the Stavanger Library for the first time today.  You can actually get a library card with just a picture i.d.  No person number required.  A person number or at least a temporary person number is required for almost everything.  And as we learned today, if you only have a temporary number you have to provide proof of income and Norwegian residence to get a cell phone.  Geeze.  Car dealerships let you drive off with a car on a test drive without even making a copy of your driver's license.   

Anyway, about the library, Rory and I took the elevator to the children's section on the third floor. They had a decent selection of children's books.  We only picked out five books to take home with us and we've already read four of them.  Rory loves to read and it's great (for all of us) to have some new books to read.  We also looked at the adult books and they have an even better selection of English books in the adult section.  I did not get anything for myself though because I still have several books bought before we left Houston that I haven't read yet.   

There is also a children's museum in the same building as the library.  We'll have to go back to check it out one day soon!
