And what do you recommend to hang on walls, for decorative purposes, besides family photos?

Mine are blank and barren, an empty canvas for the maniacal decorator in me, after carefully negotiated with the family.

    I work in a library, and I’m sad to say this sort of thing has been going around for a while… Our board (a bunch of ghoulish rich retired business men) wants us to call people “customers” instead of “patrons”, and is looking for ways to charge them money.

      It won’t happen here, as the library is funded by the city, but I have lived where one of the biggest libraries in the country sits and you could take a book for free and read it in three or five days (can’t recall the exact time) or choose to pay a few cents to request the book for a little longer, never exceeding two weeks.

      That money was enough to get new works, replace overused copies, etc.

      A library for profit already exists: we call it a book store.
