A store that sells shoes and chocolate?

A card catalog at the Pratt Free Library



I was at the library for a seminar on ContentDM. It looks like they use the card catalog as a way to display the names of donors to the library. The names of people are etched where the call numbers would be on the front of each drawer.

Why The Next Big Pop-Culture Wave After Cupcakes Might Be Libraries

http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2010/07/20/128651136/why-the-next-big-pop-culture-wave-after-cupcakes-might-be-libraries

My favorite part of the article:

"Open to the public" means "some days, you really have to wonder about people." This is where you get the spark of an idea for TLC or somebody to do some goofball show called The Stacks, which follows a small local library through funding problems, trying to get book clubs started, whatever. When your building is open to the public, that means open ... to ... the ... public. And you know what's a little unpredictable? The public. This is where you might get your drama. (When I was in college, the information desk used to post the best questions it received, one of which was "How long do you cook spaghetti?" I suspect many libraries have similar stories.)

Butt Bush


This butt shaped bush is at the ordering station at the McDonalds drive-thru on Lee Hwy in Arlington, VA.

Ironically just as the butt bush grows, so could the butts of people who eat the fast food.

Trim the butt bush, trim the fat off your butt.
