Library Commission out of touch
The Library Commission meeting on Monday, May 7th was remarkable for the Commission’s inability — or adamant refusal — to listen to points of view other than their own, especially with regard to their pet project, self-check machines. The documents that were meant to inform an incisive conversation about the self-check equipment were over 58 pages long and did not include any information from the employees who have been the “testers” for the equipment. The documents were posted on the website less than two days before the Commission meeting, and were still being revised hours before the meeting itself. A large number of employees and community people came to the meeting, and several commented on the self-check machines.

Action film or sentimental claptrap: Spielberg’s dilemma
"How much a person likes 'Disclosure Day,' the newest film from director Steven Spielberg, depends a lot on what their favorite film of his is. I’ve spent my entire life chasing the feeling I got from watching 'Jurassic Park' for the first time at 13 years old. So to say that I looked forward to 'Disclosure Day" is a massive understatement," says film critic Jared Rasic.
