Book Vandalism
Today a good article was posted at the Website “one minion’s opinion” on book vandalism: http://1minionsopinion.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/book-vandalism-is-still-vandalism/.
Enjoy the article. Let me know what you think….
Beauregard the Library Cat
Beauregard the Library Cat is the newest member of the H. B. Stamps Library Staff. The H. B. Stamps Library is located in Hawkins County, TN.
The Hawkins County Library Website reports that Beauregard has been very helpful in making sure the chairs are being used. He likes to be around people and does not mind occasional petting. The librarians only ask that you not pick him up (mostly for his safety).
Let’s hope that other libraries follow this example and adopt a homeless cat!
