It is about the measuring of time relating to public notice on a city hall meeting. Happened about ten or fifteen years ago. can you help me? In my city, they have stopped publishing adequate notice for meetings and some of think its deliberate.

The best way to handle him was clearly to “take the money and run”!

I spent several years during the 1980s trying to hunt down all of them in hardcover; almost did it too, other than six which I could only find in paperback. She’s still my favorite and I have reread all of her novels countless times!

It’s a creative idea that to check books by using barcode scanner with smart phone in library. Maybe there are some security risks, but I think it’s worth trying.

I’ve learned that there is a growing caregiver crisis in both military and civilian families, especially as the population ages. In researching community services such as the public library, senior center, YMCA and recreation centers, I find senior programs but no programs that specifically target caregivers. Is there a library or library association program that looks at the often exhausted, over-stressed family and professional caregivers? Thank you.
