Sorry to hear about the library. Usually it's a place where (seemingly) enlightened people work
Hope the rest of your local agencies have a little more spring in their step!
I had an energetic young lady find me a Sams at the library in Bellevue (3 miles from Microsoft) once; she went to the back THREE times to look, only to finally come back, saddened. She says "I just don't see your McIntosh MR-55 on any of these folders". Since this is geek country, she thought I meant APPLE MACintosh. I explained to her it was HI-FI gear, take a look in the TV folders, and she went back one more time and found it! We had a nice chat, and I thanked her for her hard work. Seems that even in the wealthiest Zip code in a ten-state area, not everyone has seen a McIntosh!
