I had a couple of problems with libraries on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday I rolled out of Albuquerque heading south. I wasn’t in much of a hurry so I stopped in Socorro to use the library. The sign said the library was open. However, all the lights were out and the door was locked. A woman pulled up in her car, got out, approached the building, and dropped some books in the book drop. I asked her why the library was closed. She didn’t think it was. We talked. It turns out that Monday was Columbus Day. I’m lucky I knew it was Monday, let alone Columbus Day. I’m still not sure what Columbus day is. I drove on into Truth of Consequences (TorC), NM and camped out at Elephant Butte Lake State Park. On Tuesday I went to the library at Truth of Consequences and was told they didn’t have wi-fi. I thought about asking if there was a Radio Shack nearby and whether they’d like me to set it up for them for free but I thought the better of it.
