She entered the Oakwood library. “Hi,” she said to the librarian. “I'm travelling to Lawndale, could you provide information on that town?”
“Lawndale?” the librarian asked with a sceptical voice.
“Yes,” Lillian projected.
“Sorry, It's not often that we get asked about Lawndale here.”
“But sometimes?” Lillian asked.
“Yes, but they're usually referred to the libraries in Lawndale,” the librarian answered.
'More than one public library in Lawndale?' Lillian wondered. Sounded like her kind of town. The town she still called home in Colorado only had one. “But you do have information on that town right? Not just Oakwood?”
“Don't get cocky young lady. It's just that there is a big rivalry between the towns.”
“I see,” Lillian said with annoyance. 'Surely nothing like that between Springfield and Shelbyville in The Simpsons?'
“I'll check,” the librarian said.
“Good,” Lillian groused.
