Okay, I really do have library-stuff to post, so let me get a little out of the way...

Great quote:

*'I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical
strength, who, all over this country (the United States), have staunchly
resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books
from their shelves, and destroyed records rather than have to reveal to
thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.So
the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House, the Supreme
Court, the Senate, the House of Representatives, or the media. The
America I loved still exists at the front desks of our public
libraries.' -- Kurt Vonnegut*
