The latest from the Department of Admirable Innovations (Public Library Division): converting from plastic library cards to cards made out of bamboo. Details.
I hope this idea catches on…but I also hope these cards are flexible enough for carrying around in one’s wallet.
Prediction: a library system finds a vendor who makes library cards out of hemp.

"...What I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you onto another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive--all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment."
- Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2008)
