This probably won’t ever become a library blog, but I know a bunch of my readers share my gung-ho-osity* for institutions of literacy. Therefore, I’m passing along this article from The Economist about libraries in cowboy country that one of my classmates found. Aside from what it says about the reading habits of my own local area in comparison to other areas, it’s very heartening.
* It is so a word. Okay, so it isn’t. But loopy neologisms are my thing.
I have a friend from cowboy country (and who is a HUGE fan of libraries) that I will have to pass this on to. Thanks!
