> It just kills me when people come in and they have to research a topic, but they have no idea how to use the card catalog to look it up because they never come to the library unless they have to.


A card catalog? What's that? I haven't seen one of those in YEARS. Up here, all the libraries have switched over to computerized catalogs, which while I'm sure they're a lot more convenient for the librarian who no longer has to make little cards, I must admit i kinda miss the old way ;)



>I can't imagine that. Did you ever read "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler", where some kids run away to live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art? I think if I could, I'd run away to the library.


woah. there's a book I completely forgot I had ever read until you mentioned it. didn't they bathe in the fountain or something?
