-=-What about the smell of the cards?  I remember the smell.

I remember the feel of the wood, and the little scrap papers for writing the
call numbers down on. I'd use them for "bookmarks" in between cards I wanted
to look at again. Sometimes I'd find one someone else had left in as a
marker.

I used to feel the sides and bottoms of the drawers sometime and think that
just about everyone in town for years had touched those. At the university, I
would think that people who had REALLY KNOWN this subject matter had opened
the drawer the same way I had. Wood can be that way. Plastic keyboards
don't seem to hold that kind of warmth and ju-ju. I have very rarely thought
that someone else I really admired had looked at the same website I had.

One thing I love about our library is that next to the computer, they have
the catalog cards(I don't know why they still have so many of them) with the
little pencils and you use the blank side to write your call numbers down.
I sort of feel like I am still searching in the card catalog.

BTW, I just joined the board. I live in the bay area, California, and have
twin 9 year old sons. My aspiration is to get to the comfort level that you
guys have with unschooling. My head is coming along slowly after my
heart...
