Your brain-dead quote of the day...
Apr. 2nd, 2008 12:00 pm"Innovative ways of inexpensively serving areas where library branches might have to be closed would be necessary. Bottom line, reducing spending on support staff, which would result from consolidation, could lessen the impact on service to the customer."
1. I'd suggest brownies, wood sprites, or little fluffs of magical thinking, but I've given up on writing to the local paper to tell them that getting rid of libraries will save them any money. They don't print those letters. Oh well, better laugh instead of doing that other thing.
2. Momma, please don't let your babies grow up to be business majors if this is how they see the world.
3. When they in Barnes and Noble, they're customers. When they're in a library, they're patrons. I know there are plenty of librarians who call patrons "customers." Those librarians are what I call "wrong." You're not buying, and I'm not selling.
There's been more happening lately, but it's safe to assume that you'll survive without it just fine for a few more days. Except this: Tipping the Velvet was an amazing, exceptional, wonderful book. It helped me keep what's left of my sanity. Now I need to read her others.
