Untitled[edit]

I got the orphan problem fixed - the article on Newburyport, Massachusetts now links to this page under Education. Should I take the template down now? I can't think of any other articles that should link to this. Specs112 (Talk!) 03:42, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't much of an article here. When more is in, some of the articles on the leading men who supported the library can reference this. Let me see what I can do. If we are certain we have a number of links the tag can come out. The key is to expand the article.Dave (talk) 13:50, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not a site for community resources[edit]

This is not a site for community resources. We don't want community-style writing, adverstising, tourist-type or chamber-of-commerce writing. Those topics and those styles have their own sites and I dare say are done most excellently. We are not in competition with them. This is an encyclopedia and demands an encyclopedic style. What we want is mainly objective information about the library in an objective style. What number of volumes, what collections, what resources, etc etc. We don't care in the least if anyone thought the original mansion was handsome and whether or not the students can access the catalogue from their home computer is of no concern to us. If they did not know that they wouldn't find WP too useful anyway. In fact "everyman" in the states anyway is pretty computer literate, much to the chagrin of anyone trying to keep their systems a secret. If you don't use the Internet you aren't in our century any more, so we don't have to give "how to use the library" guidelines. The ladies at the front desk do that (hats off to you, ladies).Dave (talk) 13:50, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History and Definition of Public vs. Private Libraries not needed here[edit]

There is no reason we need a definition and/or history of public libraries in this article. Link to an article about public libraries if you must, but there is a whole paragraph that needs to be culled here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.206.50.27 (talk) 20:11, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
