Michael McGrorty has provided a (hopefully) comprehensive list of public libraries that are currently endangered. Endangered in this case is being defined as suffering major cuts in service, facilities or personnel, and sadly these do seem to fit the bill.
Remind me again why I'm in Graduate School? Because surely there should be a better way to spend my money. It seems like this degree might end up being useless by the time I graduate, but hope springs eternal. Maybe one day people will realize how valuable their public libraries are and that even with the Internet, you still need both libraries and Librarians. I really hope so, and not just so my degree won't go to waste.
Book of the Night: The Children's Blizzard, by David Laskin. Graphic descriptions of the process the body goes through while one freezes to death was unnecessary, however.
