I don't argue with this. I just think it would be nice if it were done
in a more neighborly way, with some advance notice so library providers
don't have to drop everything they are doing to make their customers
whole on a moment's notice.

One summer I was looking out the bank of window's on the back side of my
house at the tall trees and Long's Peak in the distance, when I noticed
all the big trees in front of my view being felled. They were replaced
with a tall, white concrete block wall. I still don't speak to that
neighbor, and no one in the neighborhood invites them to the block
parties we have on the Fourth of July. They, too, owned the biggest,
most expensive house on the block. :-)

Cheers,

David
