i will probably never write the your content filtering policy is technologically flawed & socially irresponsible irate-patron-letter i occasionally get the impulse to write. it would be super depressing to find out that it isn't just that they're confined by the technology, but that they're okay with cutting off access to valuable resources because they have swears.
so much stuff coming up under 'occult'.

if it's filtered it's occult by definition

Queens Central and Mid-Manhattan libraries: I kiss you both for all the great comics you've lent me.
Currently reading Macedonia by Pekar, Roberson and Piskor.

Not comics related, but the publisher Penguin is planning on making its tiles available as e-books:

So I went to the Public Library last night, and they had a decent selection of "graphic novels"! The librarian looked at me like I was a moron when I brought an armload of "graphic novels" to the check-out desk, particularly when I said "They're for my kid."Shame makes me lie.― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 14:12 (8 years ago) Permalink
Hahaha. I did the same thing a few weeks ago, finding several dozen hardback trades at the local library that I hadn't read. Walked out with a 7" stack of trades - good one stop catch-up.

My old library in Round Rock had "The Death Ray" and "Locas Vol 2," making me very, very happy indeed.

"Well, I'll be glad to help - on one condition. Give me a chance to show you that the library isn't some kind of prison or torture chamber."
