I went to the library after work to pick-up my three holds. Since the beginning of the year, the library had put up a holds section where you get your holds yourself (versus the librarian getting them from their backroom). I didn't mind that since I figured the check-out line would be faster that way.
Today, I found out that there's another new thing in the library: self check-outs. Instead of the librarians scanning the barcode, you have to do it yourself now. What in the world? Call me old fashioned, but when I go to the library, I expect to interact with the librarians in some way. Actually, anywhere I go, I expect to interact with people period. If I didn't want to interact with people, I would just stay home. I'm guessing that other places will be adopting this trend soon and I'm not looking forward to it. *SIGH. I want human interaction back!
