While we’re hugging librarians this week….
J.R. Moehringer, author of a BGB-favorite - The Tender Bar, has a day job. He’s a Pulitzer-prize winning staff writer for the L.A. Times. He’s written a great story in today’s paper about the retirement of the head of the Mississippi Delta’s Bolivar County library system. Bolivar County is one of the most illiterate places in the U.S. (41% illiteracy rate). (link via Librarian.net).
