Well, poop! I've got Spook Handy and somebody named Bob or Horatio or something Nelson coming to sing at the Library in September. We're trying to get them gigs locally and so far have been succeeding (we're getting the Nelson character a gig at the library in Couer d'Alene as well).

And what about the Children's Librarian playing the piano for the kids' Story Hours? Or the local symphony director using the Library for some of his students' recitals?

The whole thing is getting stupid -- a bunch of greed-heads who by their actions are going to put themselves out of business! Talk about cutting your own throat!
