Hello Readers,<div><br /></div><div>Here's a fun one. San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) has recently introduced eco library cards, made of corn starch They're free for new members and $1.00 for current members.</div><div><br /></div><div>As the author of the blog points out (click <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/green/detail?blogid=49&entry_id=40738">here</a> or on the title of this post), libraries have always promoted free, re-usable materials, so why not the card as well? </div><div><br /></div><div>It makes perfect sense, and I'm all for environmentally friendly measures, but I also remember receiving a <i>paper</i> library card from my local NYPL branch in the Bronx, waaayyy back in the 70s and 80s. I wonder if there may be room for paper library cards to make a comeback? It would be environmentally friendly <i>and</i> totally retro!</div><div><br /></div><div>Jonathan</div>
