[LM_NET] Slightly OT: Privatizing the library

[Juliann Moskowitz <juliann14@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Did anyone see the AP article today about the Oregon town that outsourced out their 
library services?

they will save money. The ALA says it's union busting.

Reading is a means of thinking with another person’s mind; it forces you to stretch 
your own.--Charles Scribner, Jr. 

A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past, he is one who is 
prematurely disappointed in the future—Sydney J Harris, journalist (1917-1986)
