shredding libraries

These days, when I go to the Library, I don't ask for help from the reference librarian.

I'm concerned about taking books out because I don't want to leave a paper trail.

I thought about trying to read books from a list I saw earlier this year of the 100 most significant books of the past century. I'm not sure that I will though. Some of them might not look too good on my permanent record.

Next time I go to the Library, I'm going to check to make sure my librarian has a shredder (NY Times link, free reg. req'd)
