Very cool essay and photos about the traveling libraries once supplied to Michigan’s lighthouse keepers.

And this private for-profit company in CA is still getting volunteers at the library.

Well, you can dislike paying taxes and still recognize that the government does a lot for us.
I kinda think that’s a pleasingly American attitude.

When I was in middle school, this very thing happened. The local branch of the public library moved into the school. It can be done. It was a short-term fix until they could get their own digs again, but it happened. Yes, security is an issue, but with creativity it can work.

Anyone who hates paying their taxes should take the Citizen’s Academy through the city. Its eye opening to realize how much the city does behind the scenes to make our lives downright easy
