    That would be the public library and that's about 10 minutes walking distance from me. And COD and JJC were the only schools I was able to go to I'm not sure why considering morraine was the closest.

    Would you be willing to walk to the library and check out a book? Do you have a card?

    Yes I would and no I don't have a card but I'm sure I can get one.

    (I'm a librarian.) I just checked the online catalog at Lockport and found this --

    Self matters : creating your life from the inside out by McGraw, Phillip C.

    Item info: 2 copies available at Des Plaines Valley Public Library - Lockport

    158.1 MCG

    I want you to go there and check out a copy. Call before you go to find out what they want as ID, so you can get a card.

    Thank you very much for your help. I'll go there tomorrow and hopefully this will help me

    Don't forget to call before you go to find out what ID you have to bring. (Usually a driver's license is a major ID.)

    AND you and I are going to discuss that book as you read it.

    Okay??

    Okay haha is this a book you yourself have read? And I still have my drivers license I guess it's just not valid since it is still suspended but I don't really see them looking too far into that.

    All they want is a valid license or the paper someone gets when a ticket is issued and the cop takes the license. Is the address on your license where you sleep at night?

    Yes, I've read the book (of course!! ). And you will too. And you will learn something. I did. We'll go chapter by chapter, idea by idea. You want free counseling? Well, here we go!!

    Okay. And no, the address is not the same as on my license. And that sounds great I will try and get to the library tomorrow but who knows with my sleep schedule haha but no I will try and get there by tomorrow and come back on here and let you know how far I got. Would you suggest only one chapter at a time?

    If the address is incorrect, your driver's license is no good to get a library card and is invalid as per the state also. You can't use it to get a card.

    Be sure to call to find out what else you can use. Often a utility bill will work if the driver's license is invalid.

    If you are allowed to get a card, and then check out the book, we will go a chapter at a time.

    Okay. If I end up not being able to get a card I could always just read the book there considering it is only 10 minutes away and I could use the exercise haha.

    Call before you go - to find out what you need to get a card.

    I will. Even though that's another fear of mine ahh I'll be fine though I'll call.

    I used to do in-home counseling. When you call, pretend I'm sitting there staring at you and drinking tea and eating a cookie.
