Saturday Snap – A Versatile Sign @officialRPL Regent Place Branch #yqr #ReadAboutWeed #GuideToGanja #MaryJaneMonographs #GetBuzzedonBooks

Usually, the “Homegrown” sign at my library helps identify a display of Saskatchewan books or perhaps a display of books about gardening or agriculture or something along those lines. But with the legalization of marijuana this week, we found another way to use this sign… 🙂

Brazilian Inmates Can Read Books To Shorten Their Sentences (Not So Much in The US)

This is a pretty cool, innovative program with a lot of potential to pay ongoing dividends. And of course, the US is doing the opposite with prisons in Pennsylvania where inmates are no longer being allowed any form of print book sent by family members or charities but they can buy overpriced, overly restricted ebooks, […]

A Few Radical Changes That Could Fix The US Political System?
