Library sans books

What a great fucking idea, let’s put the books up on the shelves before the building is completed, that way they’re all covered in dust. What is with you ignorant dumb pieces of shit? How many times you need to be told that they ARE BEING DELIVERED.
Oh and this isn’t the first time you said this. I’m sure you strut around Halifax with your shitty mo-vember moustache and your vitamin water, saying this over and over again with a knowing look, desperate for acknowledgement, to anyone within earshot who can bare to make eye contact with you and your repulsive disposition.
DENOTATIVE REACH
Must a library, in order to be a library, contain books? Can the building itself be called a library? Why not? One thinks of the ancient and rightly famous “Library of Alexandria” which even today is still called a “library.”
The point, of course, is conceptual or, more specifically, that of “denotative reach.” Words, you will recall, aspire to meaning but such meaning need not be limited to a literal or physicalist sense. For example, to say nothing of philosophical meaning – what is the meaning of “meaning?” – meaning might reside in allegory or metaphor which, by virtue of their denotative reach, extend beyond their mere physical manifestation. And so it is with the metaphorical meaning of “library” which transcends the bare here and now. It is in this sense that “Library sans books” acquires both meaning and legitimacy. I trust you will understand.

A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
They have books. They want more. What’s your question?
Liberry, I already offered you a bunch of free books if you wipe out my 75 doll hairs of late fees off my account. I got a smattering of self-help, lotta diet books… Susan Powter’s Stop the Insanity – Hell-oh! Come and get it. You can even have my nostalgic collection of harlequin romances from my 20’s. I’ll stop lining my kitty’s litter box with them. But really, what do people do in there if there’s no books, you can’t eat, drink or smoke in there. Seems pretty shitty. Do they play on the computer? But everyone has cell phones to play on, so what do they do? Sit in the giant building and look at the walls? Sounds like my job. Liberry, Are you hiring?
Hey OB Coast ads creep you out,
You don’t understand , the books are being delivered (eventually it seems)
What creeps me out is no fools avatar photo
as for the library , unless we have to shoot there, I’ll never get to step in the building. So it doesn’t really matter if there’s books or not.
FYI , did you know the library out here in East Hants, not only has books…it has free parking ~;D
