Here’s a little piece in Reason Magazine about libraries resisting filters, I have a small sentence or two in it.

Hi. Just popping in to say I’m still in California & have no real time to do serious updates. Please familiarize yourself with the links page and I will be back online on Sunday. Thanks.
who loves you like the library?
Writer’s Digest includes this shining endorsement of libraries as a spark for writing creativity and a plethora of writing resources. Also don’t miss 10 cool library maneuvers for writers. [thanks penny]
tv in the library, are cheeseburgers next?
In the “do you want fries with that?” model, a library with a TV on in the lobby for the Internet users who “don’t like to read.” I have mixed feelings about this, the columnist seems to think that using the Internet is the same as [or similar to] reading, this is not always the case. Of course, if you are someone waiting for your ‘net fix at the public library, I would think you could perhaps pretend to be interested in books, or maybe the newspaper, just to humor us. I have seen people shuffle in place and stare off into space for upwards of half an hour because they couldn’t find anything else to do in the library until it was their turn. One of the Sisyphean tasks I have given myself is to try to find something else that these peope are interested in. [thanks dsdlc]
