In this installment of my love/hate relationship with the New York York Public Library: a partnership with FreshDirect a company many New Yorkers claim to be an urban and environmental menace, bike lane usurpers, and union busters.
Did anyone else notice that three of the top ten libraries in the 500,000+ population category and one in the 100,000 in Hennen's American Public Library Ratings 2008 rankings have something in common? That something is zines!
I thought it might be time to lay out a policy about comments, regarding spammers and trolls.
More policies to come, as needed.

Also, I know Sandy Berman has asked before, but now my friend Greg Hom is, too. I hope LC will consider changing JEWISH-ARAB RELATIONS and any/all terms relating to it to the more accurate ISRAELI-ARAB RELATIONS. Greg's request is based on Palestine by Joe Sacco.
