Lately I’ve seen a handful posts on non-library blogs about how useful and relevant libraries can be. Here are three worth mentioning:
- DVDs for free at the Library (by Beth at Wise Bread) : “Supporting my local library system is very important to me, and I view these simple movie rentals as a win-win situation for the community.”
- 8.5 Free Things to do on a Rainy Day (by Justin, also at Wise Bread) : Topping the list is “Read a library book. People seem to have forgotten that nearly every community has a repository of free books, available for anyone to go peruse. Check out an old classic, the latest sizzler, or something totally out of character.”
- Taming Book Clutter (by Brian at Unclutterer) : “The most important tool… is a library card. Once you get over the compulsive need to own every book you’ve read, it’s quite liberating to have only those books that you’re currently reading.”
It’s good to know that the non-biblioblogosphere hasn’t forgotten us.
As a sidenote, I wonder what comes after the Information Age — the Post-Information Age?
