I'm having a little trouble with the "Of the ten-thousand or so people who live in this town, I am on a first name basis with or related to half..." even with the fact that she's a librarian. On the otherhand, I grew up in a town with less than a thousand people, and while I live in a more populated area now I can't even tell you the names of all my neighbors. So maybe being a rural basement troll skews my perception.
I am however LOVING the author's humor.
