If you've never read the Library History Buff Blog, you should. Larry Nix does an excellent job of commenting on and preserving snippets of library history. He is particularly fond of historical postcards.
Today he wrote about a library--facing cuts currently--and its experiences during the Great Depression and how it eventually overcame closure and cuts. It's definitely food for thought. Hopefully those facing cuts these days will thrive once more in better times, but for now, it's a very difficult time for libraries.
