the library is the arsenal

If you have to live in Michigan....

Ann Arbor District Library in my home state has a neat feature on its website. In the catalog type in your favorite book and then click on the "card catalog image" link on the lower right. It's pretty cool. You can add notes and little scribbles on the old card. Who says nostalgia is dead? Nicholson Baker would be happy to see that, check it in LJ.

Totally clever. Right up there with my friend who works at Univ. of California at Irvine's library sending me a package with a note scrawled on the back of one of their old catalog cards. And he didn't even think he was being funny....
