They Pulled Me Back In

So I'd just given up on NPR's news program aimed at twentysomethings with woefully short attention spans, The Bryant Park Project, when darned if they didn't go and post an item I'm actually interested in.

The BPP talked to Dan Borchert, author of Free for All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library. He blows the lid off these publicly-funded ratholes, detailing theft, drug-dealing and other such shenanigans. But the choice morsel of the report is about folks who park their kids in the library all day, finding it a cheap alternative to daycare.
