Moreover, one out of three Americans 14 years or older visit once a week or more often. Library visits are highest among: the working poor; people of mixed race; 14-18, 35-44, and 65-74 year olds; women; and people with educational attainment beyond high school.

In other words, paying for information—if only indirectly by paying for the devices and platforms that make it available—is seen by some as the new paradigm. If physical public libraries are no longer relevant to me, how could they possibly be to others? So why continue to pay for them to be open five or six or seven days a week?

If you look at how the American public is actually using its neighborhood libraries today, however, you come up with a radically different picture.

A different take on werewolves. They’re not your friendly, fuzzy Twilight (or Shiver) wolves. This is a dark, fun and oddly sweet novel.

ya book recs
- Ostrich Boys by Keith Gray
- Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
- The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
Ostrich Boys is a sweet, British novel about three boys who must learn to deal with their friend’s death. It sounds morbid, but it’s not. Fever Crumb is an interesting dystopian novel that I believe will be part of a series. It’s clever and doesn’t hold back, which makes it exciting as well. The Body Finder is a strong mystery, with enough suspense that I read it in one sitting because I had to know what happened. The ending was a bit too perfect, but after all the stress the main character goes through, it is rather nice.

Still, I sometimes wonder and marvel at the depth of compassion this nation bestows on its shamed officials. In April 1995, the U.S. Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp of Nixon and his portrait has hung in the White House like all the others.
