Libraries & animals I am grateful for Francine Fialkoff's editorial about the exclusion of libraries from the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (“FEMA Fails Again,” LJ 5/15/09, p. 8). It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of libraries, especially during the aftermath of a disaster.

Restrict cell phones I agree with most of the "Cheers & Jeers" offered by Michael Casey and Michael Stephens (The Transparent Library, LJ 4/15/09, p. 20), but I take exception to their jeers to libraries that still have signs restricting the use of cell phones. Casey is an IT division director, and Stephens is a professor.

Gates's misguided gift I read with increasing frustration and dismay of the latest misguided effort by the Gates Foundation to support library advocacy (“Gates Gives OCLC $5M for Library Support Project,” Newsdesk, LJ 5/1/09, p. 12). Don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate their interest and support for public libraries.
