True story: Gandalf appears at University of Minnesota during exams, going around telling people ominously “You shall not pass.”

The February Price Comparison Chart from the Douglas County Libraries. Please note how the inflation for eBooks is for public libraries; $84 for a book that costs the consumer $14. I’d rather spend the taxpayer’s money on something else.

Yet when asked whether they would be willing to give up existing resources to make room for these things — to move some books to off-site storage centers to make sense for a device-testing center, for instance — only 20% of survey participants said they were in favor.

Magical Land of Reading Fundraiser Pageant -
From the FB event description:
“This will be a fundraising pageant for our local library, Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library. Last year our library faced $13,000 in cuts. That affects the whole library. We are focusing on raising funds for their summer reading program, and what is left over will go to the childrens area as it needs updated!”
Donation information is at the bottom of the event description link.
I need to use this for my computer classes.
