It is a matter of worry

The way the markets and the economic situation is decomposing. Rotting away. Has the look of a death spiral. Thinking that 2 years ago, we were floating on a cloud of economic global bliss, or almost. Then one little bloc from the JENGA economic tower was removed. ABCP, it was written on the little wooden bloc.

Since then, the JENGA economic tower has been tumbling, and isn't done crumbling yet, it seems.

It is said that bad economic times are good times for public libraries, as more and more people come to use and rely on our free/inexpensive services. Good for us library workers, in a way, as being asked to do more with less is a kind of lesser evil compared to someone loosing his/her job and being stuck in economic distress. Still. I see nothing here to rejoyce about. Let's roll up our sleeves...
