Burn Those Books

In Ontario last week a school board announced its decision to shut all itsschool libraries. Budgets are tight, enrolment is down and libraries are con-sidered to be dispensable in the digital age. A public admission that wedont need no education, at least not from books, evidently. Were gettingevery single thing we need from texting, the internet and e-books instead.

Are we really? Is 21st century digital education an improvement over librar-ies or are we just amusing ourselves? It seems to me that were progressively

getting more and more short bursts of input but less and less real knowledge.Through the internet we can access lots of information on specific questions.But, not all the material has been vetted properly and we arent encouragedto question it. However, if you do develop researching skills the internet canbe like walking through the doors of numerous libraries that you might nothave had access to otherwise. So, you can get the information but do you getknowledge?

Weve quickly become a society that is focused on the bottom line. Noneed to expend time on how you came to these conclusions; just get theanswer and get out of here. Weve become faster but not necessarilysmarter. And wisdom, well forget it. Frenetic motion is mistaken for beingsmart. In the end, though, you cant beat experience that comes from plainold, slogging work. That applies to education, too. Dont confuse colourfulentertainment designed to keep the attention of spoiled, young minds withmaterial that will truly push them to develop their abilities. DVD movies thatcan be played on a cell phone are not the same thing as a library where youcan wander around and create your own ideas, pursue your own thoughts anddiscover links with minds that have shaped the world. Libraries can be inter-active, they can be digital but they must physically be there for our use orwere heading back to the Dark Ages. JK

Book Review:

The Black CatBy Martha Grimes

Several weeks havepassed since Richard Jurywas left bereft and guilt-ridded after the tragicaccident of his lover, LuAguilar. Now she lies in acoma, and Jury wants to stay near her. In-stead, he has been tossed a case outside of his jurisdiction, in the village of Chesham,where a beautiful young woman has been

murdered in the grounds of a pub called TheBlack Cat. And the only witness to the mur-der is the black cat.

Did you see anything? Jury tried to send the cat a message.Tell me. The black cat closed his eyes and told himnothing.

Given her gown - Yves St.Laurent - and hershoes - Jimmy Choo, Jury wonders, Was sherich or wed to riches? She carries no in deifi-cation, and no one in the village has a clue as

to who she is.Then in London, another murder, anotherbeautifullygot-up woman, this time shoesby Louboutin. And then a third, Jury isstumped: he knows these killings are con-nected, but if this is a serial killer in London,why commit a murder in Chesham?

Written with Martha Grimes trademark in-sight and grace, The Black Cat signals thereturn of her greatest character, Richard Jury.The Superintendent is a man possessed of prodigious analytical gifts and charm, yetvulnerable in the most perplexing ways.Martha Grimes has written a book (sometimes two) a year for the last 25 yearsand shes not losing her edge yet.

Book Review:

Split ImageBy Robert B. Parker

The body in the trunk was just the beginning.

Turns out the stiff wasa foot soldier for localtough guy ReggieGalen, now enjoyingcomfortable retirement with his beauti-ful wife Rebecca, in the nicest part of Paradise. Living next door to KnockoMoynihan and his wife, Robbie, who justhappens to be Rebeccas twin. But whatappears initially to be a low-level mob hittakes on new meaning when a high-ranking crime figure is found dead onParadise Beach.

Stressed by the case, his failed relation-ship with his ex-wife, and his on-goingbattle with the bottle, Jesse Stone needssomething to keep him from spinning outof control. When private investigator,Sunny Randall comes into town on acase, she asks for Jesses help. As theirprofessional and personal relationshipsbecome intertwined, both Sunny andJesse realize that they have much in com-mon with both the victims and their sus-pects - and each other.

Interestingly, all the violence takes placeoff screen.

JEWEL

The crowd comes for herTo celebrate her lifeHer secrets are revealedThey tell about her strife

Some of how she was hurtingSome of how she was strongThings in her day to day livingTimes of when she was wronged

Very little happiness

Was nurtured in those years All affection, all romanceWas withheld from the spirit of that girl

Her soul was soothed by streams of water And sunshine on her faceLonging and dreams kept her aliveIn this dark and lonely place

You may still feel her presence As you watch the sun set into the hillsRemember her as the wind dancesthrough your hairFor she is wandering still
