I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That first article makes me hate people so much.

I am confident you are not always disappointing people.
I concur.
I ran a literacy event at school today (and yesterday) My older students worked with the lower school kids to have a bunch of "booths" to support literacy. There was a book buffet of donated books and (leftover comics from comic book day). Anyhow, it was....overwhelming. All of the books had been picked over and there was nothing left on the table after 15 minutes -- we had probably over 500 books and 200 comic books. Some of the books were donated by teachers and included scintillating titles like Adaptive School Reform Handbook. The students come from such a print deprived environment that even those books were taken by elementary students.
I'm feeling just verklempt about it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow, Kat, that's intense. I feel the need to donate a bunch of books to your school. I'm sure I can get a box of elementary school level books for your kids.
Congrats on getting rid of the CSWTF. Good bye and good riddance.
This Guardian article is so depressing. [link]

I'd love that! I am thinking of taking our Little Library and putting it downstairs. The bigs kids (middle and high school) are more jaded about books, but the littles? They need the books.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I concur.
Me too.
YAY GOOD BOOM!
I went and saw the new building again today. My conclusion: It's ugly.

And still has no space for the library?

Aw man, now I want your communities to have a non-burned down BookThing!

We moved the tax books today. We had to put all of the tax periodicals somewhere other than the tax library, and for some of them, the elsewhere was San Francisco.

Seriously! But I wish your community had a non burned down BookThing too!
