“I’d like to thank my brain for remembering me: a memoir”. I keep this very old card from a library catalog (remember those?) and this book title by Jimmy Breslin on our refrigerator door. A Google magnet adheres it–we don’t have a stainless steel fridge to which nothing sticks. The title makes me grin.
I haven’t read the biography and I really didn’t steal this card. If you read it, let me know. It’s 070.92 BRESL. Do we still use the Dewey Decimal system?

They’re still using the Dewey Decimal System – except now it’s all online. My library used the cards as notepaper once the catalog files were retired. Those big oak cabinets are collector items now…
Breslin is good…worth a read…

I think the Dewey Decimal System is still in use – as per the numbers on the end of all of the shelves at the library. But it’s all computerized. It’s the cute little file drawers and cards that are gone.
GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this.
