TOTV is like a library. Some come in to do their own research. Some come in to ask questions and they get help. Some browse to see if anything interests them. Some look around for a little fun. And some even TALK in this library.

And it's all OK.

Meanwhile, the admins are working, working, working.

Trying to keep it all straight.

Like catalogers in a library.

Trying to make the collection accessible.

Trying to make sure those who come in can find things easily.

Trying to help those who come in.

The collection grows and grows.

And the admins keep plugging away. Behind the scenes.

Cataloging. Trying to keep it all straight.

Maybe asking themselves, "What would Dewey do?"

(btw I heard the other day that Melvil Dewey, that Decimal System guy, began by arranging his mother's cupboards at a very early age. But I digress.)

So anyway. This library is growing. And that's a good thing.

And you can just come in to look around to see if what you are looking for is in this library.

And you will not visit every single shelf or section.

And sometimes you might even talk a little.

And if you have no interest in some of the stuff you find here, so what?

IT'S A LIBRARY.
