I love books. I can’t leave a bookstore without at least one. But I also have a tendency to buy books and not actually read them. Somewhere along the way reading fell by the wayside in favor of other forms of entertainment. To get back on track, I made some simple changes that have helped me with my reading habits thus far—no speed reading necessary.
I Made My Environment More Reading Friendly
I Carry My Books With Me Wherever I Go
I Give Up on Books I’m Not Enjoying
I Started Reading Three—and Only Three—Books at a Time
I Talk About Books More With Others
I “Complete the Cycle” When Reading

Welcome to the Ridgewood Public Library, where the board wants residents to pay million$$$ to replace books with a community center and performing arts venue, move the staircase (very expensive), and add a skylight and other unnecessary things precisely as we face steep property tax increases from full-day kindergarten, a bloated school budget, and the prospect of endless expenses from new residents in up to four apartment buildings (and possibly more later). We must fight this idea from the start. Attend the Monday 3/27 budget hearing (4th floor courtroom, Village Hall, 5:30 PM) at which the library will ask the council for permission and money for their daydream. Brief comments from the public are invited. Speak as an outraged resident and taxpayer against this idiotic plan, presented in part at a recent council meeting, before it can go any farther. (The opposition will no doubt haul people out to say it’s a great idea. It’s not.)
Well we (as in NJ taxpayers) pretty much pay for every other state’s infrastructure (Especially red state low tax paradises). NJ is the biggest donor state in the nation and that is NOT an alternative fact. Its not BoE or whatever in our 500+ plus municipalities, its the freedom caucus’s red state butt buddies doing it. If you doubt it there is a ton of info in the public domain.
wrong post… should have been the d minus one!
