From the International Herald Tribune: “More than 1,700 people have complained to Hong Kong regulators that the Bible is overly sexual and violent, apparently to mock a recent ruling condemning a sex survey in a student newspaper.” I do get the irony and applaud the sentiment. However, personally, I always have trouble using the Bible to make a point.
Thanks for LibTalk for pointing to this: “Post a video that describes what you love about your library and how it serves your community and you could win the $10,000.00 grand prize in Thompson Gale’s ‘I Love My Library” video contest to split with the library you designate.” There are lots of local libraries that could benefit from this.
