Westporters take pride in our cutting-edge library. The Maker Space, 3-D printer — if it’s creative and new, Maxine Bleiweis and her staff are all over it.
But sometimes you just need a typewriter.
Again, the library rides to the rescue.
An old IBM Selectric sits all alone in a cubicle overlooking Jesup Green, just waiting for someone to peck away.
Kids: Do you know what this is?
Still, the library draws the line somewhere. Long ago, the wooden card catalog went to that great reading room in the sky.
