invasion of privacy

I want to stop and say a Big Thank You to the libraries. Not just Camano, but all of em across the Yew Ess of Aye. For standing up for a little privacy. You stop and think about it, the libraries were about the only folks who said Hell No to the government over individual freedoms. Takes courage, that’s the truth.
So when Big Brother asked which patrons had checkout seditious and treasonous items, the Camano Branch refused to tell em who rented the South End String Band’s CD’s. Or Skeeter Daddle’s Diaries. None of their business. None of their DAMN business.
Course, they also didn’t mention NOBODY’d checked out those items of South End propaganda. And we thank em for that too…..
library levy update

These are tough times in the library world around here. Taxpayers just don’t want to ante up for a new library in Stanwoodopolis. Just about every body else in the Puget Sound voted for one for their cities, but not us….. Sno-Isle musta figured the island might be the way to go. Get us hooked on having one in a rental unit, then see if we’ll put our money where our IQ is in three years when the lease expires. This is year one so in 2 years we’ll find out if Camano is any more willing than Stanwood and Gomorrah to build a temple to learnin.
Price of gas goes any higher, the Band’s voting to get a new library on the South End, maybe expand Tyee Store’s Harlequin Romance paperback section. Me, I already cut a trail thru the woods to get to it, I’m so sure it’s coming. I hope it comes soon. Those nettles are growin back and I’m real tired of bodice-rippin, pulse poundin love stories……
