The Simpsons’ Public Library Removes the Books
Tonight’s episode of the cartoon The Simpsons began with a trip to the library. The characters quickly discover the library has removed all of the print materials in favor of multimedia items. The old lady with pulled-up gray hair and glasses behind a counter makes some remarks about it being a good thing. Lisa, always the smart one, is quite distraught by the change. Instead of using books to do their school work, the children listen as Marge tells them stories about historical events, which compose the rest of the episode.
