I have some CDs in my garage I like to listen to because the sound quality is better than streaming, or used to be. The albums in a milk crate are in the basement and mostly for the covers as the beer spills and cats have degraded the discs. When researching the 2020 election here in Wisconsin, I printed off a few articles because I feared they would eventually be memory holed or worse re-edited. Paper trails maybe the new hip thing.

Great idea Matt.

(And it had best be a card catalogue)

See "Order of the Librarians Temporal" (a monastic order found in the sci fi novel, "Splendid Apocalypse, The Fall of Old Earth", their order is also associated with drinking red wine and owning personal weapons)

Kudos for introducing this essential information. 451 was a powerful read many decades ago. Rates up there with 1984, Brave New World, Stranger in a Strange Land
