Tax dollars at work


Once again the main branch of the library is not opening at 9:00 am, but at 10:00. But we can pay security guards to keep people from parking around the library before it opens. We had hoped to stop in at the Austin History Center and locate the picture of our house when new (back in the late 'twenties or early 'thirties) that we'd been told about, but we were there too early. Later, we left our month's worth of read magazines at the Riverside branch, where we talked to an owner, obviously, of the soon-to-be Montoto's panaderia, which will make both kinds of tortillas. There are good hand-painted signs on the glass. The Friends of the Library book sale is postponed. Evidently, trying to impose an 11-page code of rules and regulations on the volunteer sorters did not work.
