I find that post very interesting when you said, "Times are tough all over". That statement is very true and I find it sad that libraries would have to close for a budget in the city. However, The good thing about this issue is that the city will receive a nice amount of money so that the town can catch up in finances. Also, the library is closed just for one week; however, many people rely on the library everyday and the week of closure will be tough on them. Lastly, like I said the bad thing about closing the library is that anyone who needs the resources at the library will not be able to use them for one week.

And, to wit, what does Mann's article suggest about the state of what we have historically considered (Western) knowledge? What is the relationship between scientific revolution and re-evaluation of Western knowledge and "development" (compared to the pre-Columbian Americas)? Feel free to suggest or link to outside sources or web sites.
