.The other day, I was at our local library. Taking care of some so called financial. I might as well tell everyone in blogger land. Murphy and I are getting back some money for our state taxes. The only thing I know it over $100. I needed to get a form printed. We don't have a printer and plan not to get one.
This isn't not all what I want to talk about our local library. As many of you know. I'm an Frida Kahlo fan. Well I got three books from our local library on Frida. Brand new books! Here is the books they gave me. THE BRUSH OF ANGUISH, THE DIARY OF FRIDA KAHLO and THE LETTERS OF FRIDA KAHLO. I'm very much appreciate of these books. But in back off mind I wonder why they didn't put them on there shelves. I have my theory on why this is. It could cause an ruckus. All the books in Idaho should be like the LITTLE HOUSE SERIOUS. Confession time...I can't stand these books. “Most of the people are to sicking sweet. It just gags me.”
I wonder if they would been such a back lash. Having these books on library shelf here in Idaho. There still trying to mess with our library here in IDAHO. See there signs though the entire upstairs of our library. The sign saying no one under 18 is aloud in this area. But there libraries in Idaho isn't as lucky. They're libraries because of square feet. Could have issues separating books. I believe I post this VIDEO before. But some off the libraries could have issues comply with the law. As you one can see in the video.
Murphy and I took over some prescription over to our pharmacy. Then we went to the senior center for lunch. The last figure I could fine on how much reimbursement from the state is $3.00 a meal. But I'm thinking it more like $5.00 a meal. There suggest donation is $5.00. I'm sure there people who put more in or even less. Then there is those who puts nothing in.
The lady who is now head off it. Mention that they didn't get all off there reimbursement because illegible writing. They also get some type of reimbursement for time helping out. My hubby takes drink cart around and serves drink.
Still putting my photos on thumb drive. Going to Sandpoint tomorrow with Qunella.
Book banners are never in the right side of history.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your library finds.
Ah yes, book banning. It would be better for staff checking out books to advise the borrower that the book is age inappropriate and not allow the book to be checked out.
ReplyDelete...our 50 year old daughter has always loved Little house and still does.
ReplyDeleteThe banning of books is disgusting and on the wrong side of anything good in history.
ReplyDeleteI am going to take a couple of books to my local library and encourage them to put them in the circulating collection. If not they will sell them and use the money to buy books. I am out of room for books, but still buy a few from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI don't check out library books. If I read in bed or in a chair and fall asleep my cats could throw up on the book or worse. After two times that happening I quit checking out books. I do go to the library book sales.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to visit the local library soon as I have some books due back ... I'm sure I will take out a few more it's so nice to sit and read.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I don't have a car right now so I haven't been to the library in a while.
ReplyDeletePeople are so concerned with policing other people should take a look at themselves. Sigh. They have such little lives that they must go after the libraries. It's so very wrong. Are you still doing read ins? Those were a great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a very nice Senior Center. Ours is a beautiful structure but the people there are very snobby.
ReplyDeleteBook banning is such a BAD idea, I think it's better to educate people on what books are suitable for children and if parents don't want their children reading certain titles then those parents should be in charge of the childrens choices. I remember loving the Little House on the Prairie books but I was 10 and know I wouldn't like them now.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to the library for ages
ReplyDeleteThis book banning has gotten way out of control. People who ban books are never on the right side of history. No one is forced to read a book they don't want, but for them to take away someone else's right is ignorant. I'm afraid things like this are only going to get worse with this current administration wanting so badly to control anyone that doesn't agree with them. I don't physical go to libraries, but use the Libby app to get audio books all the time.

Wonder why Frida Kahlo is potential threat.
ReplyDeleteYour senior center charges more for a meal than ours here in New York State. Maybe they get less support from government funding. A lot of my books are e-books taken out of the New York (City) public library. Anyone living or working in New York State can use their ebook service.
