was it was a good thing that the town librarians knew who he was

                                                                        by name first  last

he made a point of knowing theirsbut they wore badges he preferred calling people by namewas good at it they stuck in his brain like darts in a dartboard some perhaps hazy at the periphery but nice groupings inside the triple ring and bullseyes

there was some confusion with his patron account

                                                     patron

made one throw out their chest  pride

libraries deserve more patronage than they receive

                                                     hed point out National Ignorance  fiftythree percent of American adults ages sixteen to seventythree read at a fifth grade levelFIFTH GRADE

as far as he was concerned vocabulary writing mechanics theyre damn near illiterate

                                                                                               HALF OF AMERICA

he didnt even want to get started with their ability to regard history current events civics politics

                                                                                                     could they even use a dictionary or want to an encyclopedia or want to if a betting man an he wasnt hed lay money that those hampered individuals were content to do what theyre told to do

                                                        without question but how could they fifth graders lineup when they are told to

   it was good librarians knew his name
