I spent a lot of time in the library as a child. It is a great resource for poor people even now. I hope we always have them.

My home town had a grand old building for the library way back when. The last time I was there it was all glass and aluminum.

Wow they even had books about television! Do you think that now they might have some about computers!
The town I live in has a library and high school that were both built and endowed by a local man many years ago. Every year on his birthday the students place a wreath on his grave. :coolsmile:

Yes, I hope we always have poor people too. Someone has to do America's landscaping.
