Cell phones in the library

Some of you have heard me rant (live, not on the blog) regarding my feelings about cellphone in the library. I'm not going to repeat them here but I might finally write an article about it. Anyway, it's gone too far. Here's a library that not only bans cellphones but also text messaging (what possible disturbance does text messaging cause?!) Beyond that the city has passed a law that imposes fines after a warning!

Links to other articles on this will be added as they're found so check back...
