Library newzzzzzzz

LOLZ. (Sorry. I love them LOLCats.)

There are 72 million baby boomers, 11,000 Americans turn 50 every day, 4.6 adults turn 65 each minute, and almost 60% of librarians are 45 or older. There is little balance: only 7% of the library work force is age 20-29! (DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.) (Got this from LISnews.org)

Just imagine not being able to use Google. Google, the number one search engine, may not be available for children to use in schools, as well as some of the education tools that go with it because a new version, which is more secure, will not be allowed through the filters set up by the Children's protection act. Hopefully Google figures this all out soon.
