Ah, Mayor Bloomberg… I think you’d better watch out for the kids of New York City, if you close their libraries. The young lady who wrote these postcards supporting the public libraries of New York City as budget decisions are looming, has clearly mastered what the Department of Education here calls a “speaking and writing standard”: the writing of an, er, persuasive letter. And she did it with a librarian, for the library.

ETA: Apparently he decided to take her seriously. The libraries of New York City will stay open.
