BASIL E. FRANKWEILER!) <br /><br />Modern libraries, however, may mostly be equipted with motion detectors (maybe to safeguard expensive computers), reason why a local library eventually had to give away their resident cat. Downtown Los Angeles Civic Center library also had several severe fires thought to have been started by homeless men who broke in seeking shelter (it&#39;s near infamous Skid Row).<br /><br />But I still dream of a little old library (dark wood shelves! Polished linoleum floor gleaming with wax!) built in early 1900&#39;s which, in pre-computer &amp; video rental days, opened old-fashioned wooden sash windows overlooking ocean waves shushing below, to let in balmy breezes. Building was repurposed, library replaced by 3 million dollar structure inland next to city hall, police station, etc.<br /><br />Photos of old Redondo Beach library under a historic massive (Morton Bay?) fig tree can be found online--I think it was a Carnege Library, like one described in Maud Hart Lovelace&#39;s BETSY AND TACY GO DOWNTOWN, another favorite library visit in autobiographical fiction.<br /><br />P.S. I worked in both libraries and bookstores and must reply to common misbelief that working with books includes unlimited reading on the job--in fact, I was repeatedly reprimanded for looking inside the books... :-(DesertIslandBookwormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-77580200516927485952011-04-01T16:18:43.677-04:002011-04-01T16:18:43.677-04:00I think this is the perfect place to work because ...I think this is the perfect place to work because imagine while yo working you can read whatever you want, and learn a lot about different things.m10mviagra onlinehttp://www.iservepharmacy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-68903349633511759932011-02-20T20:41:22.398-05:002011-02-20T20:41:22.398-05:00Thank you for another incredible blog.

Since it was recently pulled from all possible markets, do you see any potential resale value in having one of the few copies they sent out, or not so much? Not that I have one. It just piqued my curiosity when I heard that they were pulling the lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
