SHHHH you! No talking!
The Dewey Decimal System is still alive and well at our local library. Cards and all, tho they also have it digital at a little kiosk type terminal.

I think it was, ummm... three days ago!

Libraries are now more than just books. On a semi-regular basis I borrow DVDs and Blu-ray discs. (Everything is cataloged and available to browse online.) I also discovered that the central branch has facilities for recording music or shooting video and/or digitizing audio, video, as well as film. All for free. It's pretty amazing actually.

My girlfriend teaches a Crochet class in our local library. She also does private tutoring for those that want a one on one class.

DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS, THIS IS THE LAST PRINT EDITION OF THIS OLD HOUSE MAGAZINE, WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE THE MAGAZINE SELF-SUSTAINING GOING FORWARD.



I realize stuff in print is difficult, and it's probably better for the environment... but man, they aren't even producing a "digital" magazine. It's just gone. They'll just periodically add articles to their website (which I've never really been to except to pay for my membership). They did this to Forbes also...

First 9/11, then Speed Vision, and now This Old House...

Many people stopped watch the Show before PBS etc Fired the host that shilled for Sears and others. Yet PBS is still flogging that dead horse likely trying to claim is not a bias org & hoping to get new sucker believe PBS cares...
In turn numbers for the Mag dropped until can't sell Ad Space that makes most money for print media. And who Really Owns that rag that seen the money dropping? Not PBS & likely not "This Old House Ventures, LLC." either. Most LLC in media are shells & vast part on money made goes to real owners.
