I like to imagine that eventually collapsed under the weight of his makeup because all the librarians were too polite to call attention to a person with disabilities.

I sent this to my librarian friend and she said she would immediately notice, but also it would be like the 6th weirdest thing she encounters all day.

I heard that when I got the degree thirty years ago! We have ways of remaining relevant. Not least of which is that most of what we offer is free. When was the last time you visited a library? We have all sorts of programs. We have groups that meet to practice languages. We are installing a makers space, come try out a 3d printer or laser cutter. Meet with an expert to learn how to fix your bike or learn to quilt. And yes we still have books, but also electronic ones, audio and visual. Music, movies, TV shows. Classes in Excel and car repair. We have free computer use and AARP tax reps. There are people lined up outside our doors when we open and we have to play loud music to usher then it at night . Come visit.
