Florida study finds that public libraries return $6.54 for every $1.00 invested.
The comprehensive study to assess taxpayer return-on-investment in Florida’s public libraries used a variety of data collection and analysis methods, including the public library annual data reports to the State Library and Archives of Florida, a statewide household telephone survey of adults, in-library surveys of adults, a follow-up survey of the libraries, surveys of organizations, such as businesses and schools, and an input-output econometric model. Key findings:
Overall, Florida’s public libraries return $6.54 for every $1.00 invested from all sources.
For every $6,448 spent on public libraries from public funding sources in Florida, one job is created.
For every dollar of public support spent on public libraries in Florida, gross regional product increases by $9.08.
For every dollar of public support spent on public libraries in Florida, income (wages) increases by $12.66.
The full, boring article.

I woulda thought teaching would be pretty awful, as adolescents would be involved.

Frist and other Republicans contend that changing the filibuster rule would apply to only judicial nominees and would not affect the right of the minority party to filibuster legislation. But in a report made public Tuesday, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, Congress' research arm, disagreed with that analysis. If "a change to the rules were accomplished by a majority vote, nothing would prevent other changes to the rules from being proposed, which could then conceivably be accomplished with a majority vote to end debate on them as well," the research service wrote. (6 Votes of Separation Over Filibuster)

Tonight I am doing my first shift in the college library. I am essentially security rather than a librarian, but getting paid to use the internet/do my PhD means I'm not complaining. 9pm - 2am Wednesdays and Sundays until Christmas.

I did a couple of quarters of night shifts like that when I started here (thankfully not as late as that). I admit I was glad to leave them behind.

My brain doesn't really get going until after dinner, so these are perfect for me. Unfortunately in 2009 I will be replaced by a machine.
