“Religion may be the opiate of the masses or it may be the single thing that may save mankind from itself; but make no mistake about it, the House of God is the library. Knowledge is everything, and the law tells us that ignorance is no excuse for not knowing the law.”
—Gene Simmons, Sex Money Kiss

Tad Beckwith of Creative Machines LLC helped put together this sculpture for a library in Arizona which is “quite original and getting some attention” and I would agree. Below is the first video of this artwork available.
More about this work can be found on the library’s and company’s sites.

Response to a book challenge
17
Jul 2008
I know Jamie LaRue and have respected him for years now. On Monday he posted his response to a recent book challenge in his library district. Here’s the intro:
Recently, a library patron challenged (urged a reconsideration of the ownership or placement of) a book called "Uncle Bobby’s Wedding." Honestly, I hadn’t even heard of it until that complaint. But I did read the book, and responded to the patron, who challenged the item through email and requested that I respond online (not via snail-mail) about her concerns.
I suspect the book will get a lot of challenges in 2008-2009. So I offer my response, purging the patron’s name, for other librarians.
The rest of the post is his response and I’m officially declaring it required reading for everyone reading this blog. So please take five minutes and read his post titled Uncle Bobby’s Wedding.

Funny… But, why?

Yes, this is funny: 
But consider the actual sign being criticized. Why is the library asking for your phone number just to use a computer? What possible legitimate purpose is that serving?
