Mightier and Cheaper Than the Sword


Public libraries are known for collecting the words of others. But our staff sometimes have to write their own--and in the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper.

We're fine with the aesthetics. And who doesn't like to read or write the words "recycling" and "savings"?
