If you find no library card you are not a self-learner. You are at best a dilettante, a dabbler in knowledge.
A self-learner has a multitude of clamoring questions, in a multitude of domains of knowledge, seeking answers. To discover the nature of reality and the answers to these questions one must have access to a library of books.
Most colleges have a ‘Friend of the Library’ card, which, for a small annual fee, will allow anyone to borrow books from that library.
After schooling is over the experience of learning begins. I think that the first step toward becoming a self-actualizing self-learner is to acquire at least one library card.

If I can't get it on Amazon I don't bother...
Wow - you only read self-help books and yet you STILL act like you do........
(this is a joke, Hamster). Hamster, my apologies ahead of time. I know I don't know you that well and, yes, I admit I am joining in the Rodent Discrimination, but I just couldn't help myself!! Sorry!!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
I'd rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.

What if you have a library card, but you never use it?

We are all dilettantes and dabblers, Coberst. Some of us are just a bit more blinkered than others.

Maybe I should use my library card more often, because I have no idea what dilettant means.

My apologies KSnyder, the filter I used allowed that word as it had been in previous posts in this thread. The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines dilettante as follows:
Lover of the fine arts: amateur; smatterer, one who toys with subject or concentrates on nothing.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines dilettante as:
A dabbler in an art or field of knowledge
(From Latin delectare - to delight)

I do sometimes follow one up, or get a call out of the blue and accept the adventure. Grin. Too many possibilities, too little time.. grin.

"Diaper Dandy" is a reference a particular college basketball enthusiasts uses when referring to kids who are strait out of high school, and don't have much experience in playing basketball at a college level. It has become well known American slang.
Perhaps you have heard of Dick Vitale -- "He's a diaper dandy baby"!
I was just joking around anyway...![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
