4-day work week has more benefits for us physically and mentally. 5-day work week plus overtime work is just a pain.

higher pay, less days, more days for your life. sadly prob will never be the norm

Rachel Jarvis Saunders

more work does not equate to more money- smart work does. When you have balance in your life, the ability to work smarter rather than harder becomes more attainable.

It's a fun tradition to buy books and build your library one paperback at a time! I also love loaning books to friends after I've read them.

The libraries are indispensable! But, in our travels every town we'd come into it's the "used book stores" the boys would spend their money in. Lots of books for a buck then.

I buy. The only books I check out of the library are travel books for a spot where I am traveling to.

Jessie Wutzername

I like to borrow books from the library, but can’t always read them before they’re due. There’s often a hold on them when I try to renew. So I like to buy them used, and can read them at my own pace.

Joyce Hamlin-cutler

The problem is that they closed the store in LA Pine to create an office. For some reason a library is not a quiet area like it was when I was a kid. They are making a office into a quiet room..

Ann Harbert Evensen

I am not sure what you are commenting about. Store? office?

I check out books from the library and borrow to save money and space in my apartment.

I borrow books from the library as well as buy books for my Kindle. I can not read small print anymore withut headaches so my Kindle is great. The library has so much to offer.

Ann Harbert Evensen

The library is so well stocked, I pay with my taxes.....why buy.

Christina TnT

We also live a more minimalist lifestyle so we don't want them in our space once we're done reading them.

Gloria Mathews

Our library has just about everything you could want. You may have to wait a bit for the most popular titles, but that’s fine with me. It means more people get to enjoy the books.

Also, this question is very poorly worded. You can do better KTVZ!

As long as the data is only used by police for a short time and then destroyed, that would be OK. I don't trust the private companies that collect the data to destroy the data like they claim. I don't want to be tracked everywhere I go. Columbia needs to fight crime a different way.

Data shows that flock cameras do not prevent crimes and that the impact on solving crimes is minimal for the expense and invasion of privacy. Additionally, they breed lazy policing. Ditch the flock and hire more cops instead.

Many crimes, including murders and kidnappings, have been solved using Flock cameras. They are a tool that law enforcement needs.
