SCARIFICATION, n. A form of penance practised by the mediaeval pious. The rite was performed, sometimes with a knife, sometimes with a hot iron, but always, says Arsenius Asceticus, acceptably if the penitent spared himself no pain nor harmless disfigurement. Scarification, with other crude penances, has now been superseded by benefaction. The founding of a library or endowment of a university is said to yield to the penitent a sharper and more lasting pain than is conferred by the knife or iron, and is therefore a surer means of grace. There are, however, two grave objections to it as a penitential method: the good that it does and the taint of justice.

Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them, however, has not changed; it is the same as it has always been, since Callimachus administered the great library in Alexandrea.

People used to be ignorant. It was hard to learn things. You had to go to libraries, look things up, perhaps sit and wait until a book was fetched from storage, or recalled from another user, or borrowed from a different library . . . Things are different today. I'm writing this in a bar right now, and I have most of human knowledge at my fingertips.

This is one of Andrew Carnegie's original libraries. It opened in 1902. It has always been a library and by the 1980s, when the steel mills were shutting down, we were able to hang on by the skin of our teeth. From 1985 to the early 1990s, we were struggling to keep the doors open.

The Web will become a testing ground for older library content. Older content is desirable because you don't have to build up marketing for it. It's still part of the cultural zeitgeist.

This gets the library's name out there. We do get people that find the library because of it. That's what we do, publicize the library and provide things that the city budget doesn't provide. And it's fun.

For an island of this size, to have a library of this capacity ...

It's like saying the Internet is a crutch because back in the day we used to go to the library and pore through the card catalogs to spend two more hours finding some information.

It is in line with modern and practical expectations.

It's going to be restored to the way it was and we plan to continue to offer library service in the community.

It's hard to tell if this should be filed in the Library of Congress under fiction or nonfiction.

Everyone has a gripping stranger in their lives, Andy, a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you.

I love you. Come away with me now to Florida," you'd follow them.

The board of education has no business allowing the library board under our flag to run a bond issue. We go to the public enough. Probably more than enough.

Serious problems remain in the Patriot Act that require serious reforms. Unfortunately, the proposed changes to the reauthorization bill do not correct the secret record search powers and do not require that there be any individualized suspicion of wrongdoing by Americans before their financial, medical, library or other records can be searched. Common sense reforms could have required that records sought be connected to a suspected terrorist or terrorist organization. We will continue to press for these and other needed reforms to protect American freedoms.

In all likelihood, the Library of Congress and Dr. Billington will be consulting closely with the U.S. Copyright Office housed in the Library of Congress,

If making these patents available in a single library accelerates the use of open source software and spurs innovation... separate and distinct from that is the whole patent reform issue.

I have no evidence anyone is doing any more substantial research because they're on the Internet than if they went into the library and looked it up in hard copy. Real learning takes time and energy and a great deal of patience. Computers give students with short attention spans the ability to flip through many sources of information ... at a very shallow level. The information's out there, but that doesn't mean you know it.

I personally enjoy it because I've spent my life in the library. I was the director at the library at Marshall University for 10 years, and I've always enjoyed reading.

I had a moment in the Library of Congress among the presidential papers. I opened a folder, and there was an envelope in it.

I turned the envelop over and it says, 'Clipped from President Garfield's head on his deathbed.'

If you look at what we did in our library -- we reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent, we reduced our electric bill by 34 percent, with more efficient lighting, more efficient heating, all kinds of conservation measures. We have over 300 solar panels which were made in America. So instead of sending money to Saudi Arabia or someplace else for oil we sent the money to an American manufacturing company to hire Americans to make solar panels. So it is good business.

In only their second year of operation, Northwest Specialty Hospital's generous support of educational projects in our community demonstrates extraordinary commitment to life-long learning in North Idaho. Along with the $100,000 challenge grant awarded to the library project by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation last week, NWSH is providing a great catalyst in our efforts to raise the total $1.4 million dollars needed to complete this important public resource.

I love our library and I think it is a great addition to the community. And it is kind of cool that they have animal traps.

I'll definitely have to start a lot earlier on my schoolwork. Usually, I'm in the library on Sunday trying to get things done, because usually I don't have a lot of time. It's school, work and then schoolwork for me.
