Peg’s Polemic on Libraries

sarahmae writes “Over at the Philosophy Cafe, Peg Tittle has posted her latest polemic, Libraries: what are they and so what? This time it is about the annoyances of the libraries she uses. The horror of a kid playing games next to her in the public library and of a person talking on their cell phone in the academic library. For her libraries are a “repositories of knowledge” that “do not have an extensive collection of westerns and romances.”

Does this sound like your library and if so, so what?”
