Steinbeck's hometown to shut down libraries
The wheel is in spin, people. We need more, not less libraries. But then, I don't think that America today is putting a great deal of value on education. Years ago, I heard Utah Phillips make the following 'joke', which is still applicable today: Did you hear about the fire in the President's library?...burned both books....and one of them he hadn't even finished colouring.

Library? What's that? I don't know the last time I went to a library, sad but true. It's too easy getting all the information I need on the Internet.
....but when was the last time you read a book on the internet? I'm not ready to accept the death of books just yet. I love to savour them, hold them, stick my nose in them, and so on....
