Are you a librarian?
Yep - pretty lonely sometimes, but there are a few of us out here! My greatest amusement comes when the the central library, which supplies all of us with the current NYT best-sellers, has to spend the collection budget on books by Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, et al...LOL!

Glad your library feels compelled to order conservative books on NYT list.
Mine doesn't. And if the book is requested by a patron, they are extremely slow to order it and process or catalog it when they receive it.
Keep up the good work!
LOL! I have often wondered how that process takes place...I can see the "committee" that has to decide on which books to acquire...
COMMITTEE CHAIR: "Number 2..."Unfit for Command"...
COMMITTTEE: (Faces of those present appear to be comtemplating a cat turd which has been dropped on the center of the table)
COMMITTEE CHAIR: "I don't think this book is worth acquiring...our money should be spent on books that lots of people are asking for and want to see...for example, 'My Life' by Bill Clinton has been characterized as "An exhaustive, soul-searching memoir, Bill Clinton's My Life is a refreshingly candid look...""
COMMITTEE MEMBER 3 (Tom): "Umm...we have had far more requests for "Unfit for Command" than any other book, and..."
COMMITTEE CHAIR: That's nice. But we have a responsibility to provide our patrons with factual, balanced reading material when it comes to politics and current events. Many of our patrons are not equipped to make the choices, so we have to do that for them...now...next on the list is 'Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror' by Richard Clarke. Lets vote on this...all in favor...okay, that is everyone but TOM and BETSY in favor..."
