Ellie and I are feeling more official. We both now have library cards. To obtain a library card, you need a personal number (big surprise). At the library, the librarian set me up at the computer to fill out the request form. Here was my surprise. I don’t know how to use a Swedish keyboard. It is slightly different due to having 3 extra letters: ä, å, and ö. The function key and several other keys are in different places and labeled differently. I was lucky to have a very helpful woman behind me that answered a few questions and also told me how to enter my phone number. I still haven’t figured out the telephone system. Phone numbers are different lengths (from 8-10 numbers) which changes based on your area code.
Ellie could not get a card at the library in Greenville until she was 5, so she was super excited to have her own card. We checked out 5 books (including Curious George rides a train) using the self-scan machine, which requires your card and pin-code number. Next time we will also have to find a book for me.
