does the troy masjid have a lending library?  

ok, i think the retreat is over, and i could go ask mokhtar, but.....well, figured i'd ask here first...

if it doesn't, do any other ones around here?  schenectady (capital district)?

actually those are the only two i know of.....

[color=Teal]Hi sis mwishka,

If you know what books you want, then you can also use interlibrary loan.  :-[

hi sis marcie!  i missed this - just now saw it...

um yep, i use it a lot, the problem is i have NO IDEA what i need or want to read.  

that's what libraries - unlike the internet - are good for:  you can go into a room and read everything you can find until you either find what you're looking for, find out where to find what you're looking for, or, in my case, since i don't know what i'm looking for necessarily, are just satiated for the time being.  and you can do it much faster than a computer can sort and filter information for you, because you know how to read and interpret, unlike the silly computer...  (not to say i always want to use the library over the internet, but, for me, i'm more likely to find what i need that is not what i was looking for at a library rather than on-line.)

but thanks for the suggestion...
