Love Amid the (Not Quite) Ruins

Jen Young sent over This NYTimes Story on the strengths and weaknesses of The New York public libraries.

\”The world, it\’s long been clear to me, has little interest in books. But these libraries, shabby and often bathroomless though they are, do. I\’m frustrated by anemic collections, by erratic hours. But I admire their spunk, their hard-working librarians and their persistence, chugging along in a city that has plenty of other things on its mind.\”
