practical, no-nonsense descriptions of life in the library. 
I like your sense of humor even better!

Actually looking for developments in media technology (school) 
since WWII. Yours was the closest thing I found in two days of

the words-use 'aid' get HIV info. Use 'history' get history 
as a subject. Tried educational trends, invention, 
development, materials. Sheesh!
