Braided Wool Rug Techniques Shhhh! This one is serious. Workshop at Audubon If people who do not know or care what a WHINEWHINE library is - use it, people who do know what OFOF THETHE a library is - won’t. I walked out the other day because people were carrying on like a WEEK!WEEK!party in a bus station and they ridiculed me when I asked them to hold it down. It was the “Quiet” section where I expected I could work. A library is one of the most valuable resources a community can have. It needs friends. It is important to consider which friends are worth keeping - those who will use it as a library or those who won’t and don’t care. I can no longer use it.
