Ummm...for research papers?

It was probably determined sometime after you graduated, syc, that "doing research" might damage the self esteem of some of the children, and was therefore banned from the school system.

Also, bear in mind that juju went to high school in Arkansas.

Hahaha... my nephew, who is in 10th grade, had to do a report on the planet Neptune. He had the brilliant idea of asking his astronomy buff uncle (aka me) for some good sources. He was moderately appalled when I recommended two books to him, in addition the the NASA/JPL web site. (I even, thanks to the Internet, verified that the books were available at his local public library. You'd think I'd recommended the thumbscrews when I told him, "They have a copy in the reference department. Just ask a librarian.")

Damn, that's cold Steve. Bwahahhaha.

This is probably just the nerd in me, but the library kicks all kinds of ass. The main library here in Philadelphia (on Vine St.) is fucking awesome...I need to get down there more.

I used to love going to the library as a child...spent many a weekend at the one near my house. Also spent a significant amount of time at various university libraries while in college, studying, reading, and discovering all sorts of magazines and journals I never knew existed.

Libraries rule! Reading whups ass! Knowledge rocks the fuck out!

Thank you.

LOL you're nuts. But...I gotta agree with ya there. I used to love the library too. I haven't been to a library in ages. My thing now is bookstores...I know, not quite the same thing, but close enough.

I worked in a public library in high school. We got plenty of HS kids looking for information for papers.

I think it was the same area where Juju went to school. %^)
