Tax dollars at work.... So I just received this email from my friend:[More:]"okay. so i'm standing in line at the downtown library a couple of minutes ago and there's one of those display boards next to the counter. and in it, there's a cutout picture of a big cat head and text that says, "i is in ur library reading ur books." like, it was BEHIND GLASS. our tax dollars pay for public displays of lolcats."

I would like to go on record as saying that I think this is a FANTASTIC use of public funds. I'm not being sarcastic, either.

For reals.

I just wish she'd taken a picture.
Is this in downtown Portland?

Go back right now and take a picture. I'll wait.

I'll swing by the central branch tomorrow and see if I can take a picture.

Damn. I might need to be a librarian.

Apologies for the stereotyping, but I would imagine that lolcats hit the librarian demographic pretty squarely.

i.e. likes cats & spends a lot of time on the internet.
