I bought a rug at Pottery Barn. Oh! The shame! I must say though, it does look great in my living room.
I always find something new everytime I look at the American Memory site. Like WPA posters on books and reading promotion. I like this poster for March, with a woman being blown away by strong wind of classics.

The WPA stuff is really cool! In a weird way it’s got an aesthetic that I really like. A little different, but probably still amusing, are these Depression-era photos of librarians doin’ all sortsa crazy things: http://newdeal.feri.org/library/j_1k.htm
When I grow up, I want to be a pack-horse librarian.

Wow, that pack-horse librarian project looked so cool. I think in this day and age though, you would have a hard time providing bookmobile services by horse.
Maybe someone could start a similar project with motorcycles? We could have rampaging gangs of librarians delivering books across the country by harley.
