Real libraries. The smell of old books decaying, reminding me of the fleeting vapor of life. I want my students to read book. Real books. Smelly old books.

Truth cannot be subjected to a 140 character count. I love libraries. Real libraries. The smell of old books decaying, reminding me of the fleeting vapor of life. I want my students to read book.

This during my commute, <a HREF="http://www.wbur.org/2010/02/17/boston-libraries" rel="nofollow">WBUR</A> reported about the Trustees of the Boston Public Library meeting to discuss ways to fill the budget gap, including possibilities of closing as many as ten branches. <a HREF="http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/02/boston_could_cl.html" rel="nofollow">The Boston Globe</A> also had an article about it.
