Building Cincinnati

This is my sign-off for this page. The FB redesign has made continuing this page impossible. Thank you to all of you (nearly) 5,000 followers for your time and for your interesting insights. Facebook has been unresponsive to my problems. You've made it fun and worthwhile.

I gave it another shot. I'm not able to share posts, and I'm not able to search. If this doesn't clear up soon, then this page is going away. FB doesn't respond to my complaints. It's Opening Day...I'm going to watch that and not worry about this today. I'm very sorry that I can't deliver on this page.

I'm very, very tired of this FB interface. It doesn't let me do anything anymore. I have my own URL...I might just have to migrate all of that over there. I'm very sorry to all of you for the lapse in links. I've been trying. Meta ain't helping. 😕

"A feast for the senses with creaking floorboards, oversized arched windows allowing light to beautifully embrace the space, and comfortable reading spaces with inviting leather chairs encourages all things reading, writing, and thinking. The extensive book collection amongst the glass-floored stacks beckons to be explored. With decades of history, and a camaraderie for the love of learning the Mercantile Library welcomes visitors to embrace their inner bookworm."
