I am becoming a Luddite.

Library's have hatched many romances.

“A library? What is it!?”

“It’s a big building with books. But that’s not important right now “

On several occasions I had to show teenagers how to use the index of a book. I knew we were doomed when that first happened.

When I was a college student at Iowa State in the early 80’s, there was a bar called The Library.
You could tell everyone you were at the library at night and they thought you were studious!

I have about 15 library cards. When I want a book, I look it up on the Worldcat database, which shows which libraries have it, and then go over and check it out.

My favorite library is the Los Angeles Public Library's Central Library, which contains many older books that have long since been "weeded," or removed, from other libraries.

When they see that you know the Dewey Decimal System, they are putty in your hands.

I arrange many of my saved emails and my digital documents according to the Dewey Decimal Classification.
