Comic Lesechallenge Tag 15: Der LieblingsbÃ¶sewicht! Da heute Leserabe war, dachte ich, die Zeit kÃ¶nnte ich nutzen & mir ein Bild von Julius Caesar in der BÃ¼cherei fÃ¼r #CLCN besorgen - das dÃ¼rfte der erste BÃ¶sewicht sein, der mir in der Comic Welt begegnete. Wie er seine Niederlage anerkennt & die Gallier abziehen lÃ¤sst, zeugt von wahrer GrÃ¶ÃŸe. AuÃŸerdem: Was kÃ¶nnte bÃ¶ser sein als die BÃ¼rokratie, die fÃ¼r Passierschein A38 nÃ¶tig ist?

Obelix and Co. | René Goscinny, Albert Uderzo

My Secondary 2nd high school library borrow card. I was mostly using my local library, because they didn't censure books, unlike the nuns.

Lindy When I did a presentation on teen services for public library staff in Montreal, people commented about my Banned Books Café slide. They told me: "books don't get challenged in Quebec." 8y

tournevis @Lindy Hahaha! My school still applied the Index, 22 years after it was revoked!!! It probably still did when he t closed in the late 1990s! 8y

Lindy @tournevis Wow! Talk about keeping ancient bigotry alive. I took a picture of the index posted in the printing museum in Antwerp. 8y

Lindy Other surprises (on both sides) from my 2007 presentation: CDs & DVDs were just starting to be added; no food or drink allowed in libraries; rule of silence (they said they were always having to kick teens out for laughing); & colourful teen spaces in Edmonton were so different from the plain Montreal libraries. 8y

tournevis @Lindy By 1962, when it was officially abolished, it was a dang long list! 8y

tournevis @Lindy La Grande bibliothÃ¨que did start things to change, but yeah, no colour unless it's for kids, teens will only damage books, and food is evil. 8y

Lindy @tournevis The thing about decor came up in a short video presented on that same day, one in which Montreal teens were asked what they thought about the public library. One commented that everything was ugly and brown there. 8y

tournevis @Lindy Brown, beige and ugly mustardy yellows. 8y

Lindy Hahaha! 8y

Lindy There was a speaker after me who was the music specialist at La Grande bibliotèque and he took issue with something I had said, which was that we had teen advisory boards helping to select popular music for purchase for the collection. He said, In 100 years, nobody will be listening to Snoop Dog, but they will still want Mozart. (He obviously didn't consider library CDs wearing out through use.) 8y

tournevis @Lindy We may very well no longer be listening to Snoop Dog, but we may also no longer be listening to Mozart either. Don't make projections if you're not a futurist or an anthropologist. Says the historical anthropologist. 8y

Lindy @tournevis ha! I didn't know that you're an anthropologist. Anyway, his perspective was definitely that of an archivist, so his advice was not really suited to public library collections. 8y

tournevis @Lindy I love archivists, I do, but they are not librarians. At all. 8y
