So I’ve gotten it into my head that I want to start an online scrapbook business (see previous posts). So I go onto the Vancouver Public Library (VPL) website and try to find some books which would go into more detail on Canadian import laws, customs clearance, and tax handling. I reserve about 8 books, and get an email that one is ready to be picked up. I must say that the library has a great selection - the catalogue looks very similar to Amazon and they have like 20 branches and you can get 50 books a year delivered to a branch near you, which for us is about 3 minutes away. Anyway, we go to the library, have a terrible time parallel parking on a Broadway with 4pm traffic, and then find out that UBC isn’t considered a part of Vancouver :? I have to go get a Community Services card on campus to be eligible for VPL access…. yet I was able to get an electronic PIN and order books for myself. Ugh!
