Patrons use the outdated and crowded 1950s-era library in Library Park prior to its replacement with a new, larger and modern facility in 2009. [I liked that old Library - Brad] From the Dick Singer collection. See full details here.

That's what a library is supposed to be. A repository of literature that covers long periods, and which progressively is lost, not preserved. The internet is not a place where all written knowledge/opinion/reflections is available. It is very finite, according to the preferences of those running it. Wikipedia is a great example of "preferred history".
ReplyDeleteI found a book contributed to Goodwill. Published in 1923, it was about Sgt. Alvin York (of War One fame). The author had access to York's diary, started when he left Appalachia for the Army and shipment to Europe and came back. My understanding is that no one else has seen his diary, but I may be corrected. The author went up and lived in York's community, talked to lots of people and observed them with understanding. He went to learn and wrote the book to teach.
How many college graduates these days know that there was a First World War? Forget about the ossified, self-serving leadership in Europe of that time...but look at the EU mandarians of today. What really are they wanting to accomplish in Ukraine, since none of them have any remotely relevant experience with war and military affairs?
