"Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little stamp,the one that says "New York Public Library"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before: Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. What's this guy making such a big stink about old library books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better?"

It is a good book.

You can read it here:

A Dog of Flanders

The author is better known just as "Ouida", her pen name. She was immensely popular in late Victorian times. My grandmother-in-law was named after her. Ouida Dunbar.

Great story.

I’ll probably see the book next week. We used to live in Mt. Clemens and are stopping by next week at the library. My daughter worked there for several years and wants to see her friends on the staff, as do we.

Great people at that place.
