I expect to be able to use the MT blog categories to bring back my library reviews one of these days, but not yet. So, here is a list of the libraries I went to on this trip:

• NYPL: Morningside Heights branch [busy and confusing, good booksale]
• Yale’s Sterling Library [Jen and Tom’s place of business]
• Columbia’s Watson Library [fancy reception, food in the library!]
• Brooklyn Public’s Central Library [got a card]
• Bank Street College Library [Carol works there]
• Barnard Library [Jenna works there]

I also went to The Strand which, while not a library, is one hell of a bookstore.

I had a friend who had a tattoo that was a hobo sign for “tell pitiful story” Today I found a site that shows you how to tell a library story [I was looking for library-themed computer wallapaper and settled on this]. Here’s hoping your library stories aren’t pitiful.

In response to Toledo Ohio’s new concealed carry law, the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library will be posting signs letting patrons know that the library is exempt from the concealed carry law. [thanks chris]

San Francisco Public Library tells voters it will hold a public forum to discuss RFID technology before it goes on the budget and then … doesn’t.

An interesting way of indicating support for an upcoming levy. Asking: Can Public Libraries Ever Work?
