Public Libraries

I'm sitting in a local library, enjoying their free wifi and the relative peace and quiet to catch up on work and personal business. For the record, most of the area schools are closed this week for Thanksgiving. It's a southern thing, I guess. This branch has a lovely space with comfy chairs in a windowed room. This room is my favorite spot because of the natural light. Facing me is a row of magazine racks. Most issues are nut current. A few of the mag titles have a note posted that says: "Our subscription to this magazine has expired. Due to state budget cuts, we are unable to renew it"
How sad, that the public library can't keep Smithsonian and Scientific American coming due to draconian budget cuts.
