Word for the Day: Monday, July 24, 2017

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort. For Today's Word, I'm going to equate Archives, with their best-known, public version, the Public Library. And yes, I've experienced Comfortable, as well as UN-Comfortable Libraries. So what made a Branch Library, in San Francisco uncomfortable? For some reason, in the summer, they didn't order Air Conditioning. Instead, a manager shared with me, they ordered De-Humidifiers! (They cost less). Now, the one part works fine: The air will be dry, which helps keep paper dry. BUT!!! It does it, by heating the air. And, in the summer, that made the Library Climate seem, quite a bit like Phoenix, Arizona! (I lasted about 15 minutes, before leaving, without taking any books out). Oh well!
