65 years ago I suspect Oregon wasn’t the lefty bastion that it is today.

Miss DeGroot : You know, Mr. Bundy, I’ve worked at this library for 44 years. I was eligible for retirement 3 years ago. Do you know why I stayed?
Al Bundy : You learned to eat books?

When I was a student at Oregon State in the 1980s, I used to run up to Portland at the beginning of each term to see how many of the required textbooks I could find in the Multnomah County Library. For a few bucks in fines, I could save many dollars by not having to purchase vastly overpriced textbooks.
I did end up keeping one and paying the library what they asked for it. $15.50 bought me a $50 book, and I still have it (though I haven’t opened it in many years).

Garland will send in a SWAT team to arrest this guy.

The librarians need to read it, but these brainwashed drones will probably hallucinate that Trump is O’Brien.

An Oregon library..........the facility is now fine-free.Fine free. Oregon library. Figures.
Or are fine free libraries, in many places, now a thing?
To: Red Badger
I have first editions of 1984, Atlas Shrugged and The Gulag Archipelago. Sadly none of these are signed by the authors. None were checked out of the library so I don’t have to return them.

The last man in Oregon to appreciate the prescience of Orwell’s 1984 is, sadly, 86 years old.
