Oh, come on, anon. It was a fun read.
Brilliant and true!
This was hilarious! Yay funny Prince columns.
hey anon....SATIRE....every hear of it?? lighten up!!
anon...its so princeton of you to try to over analyze a light hearted piece. way to be
geez anon, it was supposed to be a JOKE. i thought it was hilarious, and oh so true. each library does have its own personality.
Satire of what? Herself? This was not at all funny
