I don't know where brokenbeaker is from, but libraries in New York ARE in trouble. They are losing funding with all of the budget cuts going on. Our library here in town keeps us updated on the situation, and it's not good. They are constantly trying to raise money and get things changed. We've been filling out surveys, signing petitions, etc.... <br /><br />Such a shame....Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874501350593997881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664983486203309526.post-90748544817063112012010-04-20T18:54:52.233-04:002010-04-20T18:54:52.233-04:00@ broken- That's encouraging to hear!

I was worried about libraries the other day and did a little digging (mostly about my own city library system). Apparently they are not doing as bad as you might think although some of the shift has gone from books to other media forms and there has been a shift to make libraries more inviting with comfier sitting places and relaxed rules on food (I mean, you are able to take the books home and eat while reading so you may as well eat at the library). The big reference library in my city (Toronto) recently added a licensed room for book launches and readings so you can hang out with the authors and have a few beers. I think I just rambled on a long time, but the point was I love libraries too and I wouldn't worry about them going anywhere. I love all the old pics you included, those things look awesome.brokenbeakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254160945154234470noreply@blogger.com
