1) People want good schools, they don't want to pay higher property taxes, and then they get all in a snit when the schools have to be converted into year-round schools. If you want your kids to get their eight weeks of summer vacation, you have to pay so that they can build new schools. (Wake County has been growing like stupid ever since we moved here; the schools have been crowded ever since we moved here; and it keeps getting worse.)
2) The award for Most Lack Of Historical Perspective goes to "The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make," whose back cover reads: "The challenges teens face today are tougher than at any time in history." The award for Most Cluelessness About Eating Disorders goes to a Melody Carlson novel whose back cover describes a girl as "toying" with anorexia. Admittedly, after having spent much of the afternoon shifting the YA section, I am predisposed to hating Melody Carlson more than I already did.
3) We are still not clear on the concept of alphabetical order at the library. But, fortunately for us all, we have gone from pulling books out of boxes to putting books back into boxes (they don't all fit on the shelves).
