I mean who goes to libraries these days other than the homeless or helpless.
Hmmm. I go to libraries. I'm definitely not homeless and I don't believe I'm helpless (although some might).
And kids suckered into a faux Wiggles or Harry Potter event.
We should be very grateful to Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling encouraged a love of reading to a lot of children.

In regard to taking Gitmo detainees - it looks like the Rudd government will reconsider any future requests from the US. I believe we will end up taking some - who knows how many ? This is because many of those imprisoned were only POWS. Bush & Howard lied to us and insisted they were all terrorists. There must have been some agreement amongst those belonging to the Coalition of the Willing, in particular Australia & the US (being best friends) as to the eventual relocation of these prisoners. Rudd knows it could be political suicide to even reconsider accepting them here, but he may have no choice but to.
