In the spirit of increased fiscal conservativism, I have already pledged to limit my spring clothing purchases to bargain bin $12.99 depression-era-style dresses ... I have made a commitment to squeeze another couple years out of my 1988 Buick instead of buy a newer used car... I'd be thrilled to go to a great public library that reflects a little austerity and respect for history (and is practically in my neighborhood -- how radical is that!) Put the dang library where the people live. Enough with the glass palaces... this plan might even enable some of the branch libraries to stay open. -- Holle Brian Bancroft TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
