A new feature

 Here’s an experiment: A short essay, about 500 words, the length of a newspaper column, posted each Friday (for a while) at hebertaylor.com. The essay is a bit longer than the notes you’ll find on this site. I hope to post one a week.

The first essay is about libraries and the notion of self-education. If you're interested, go to hebertaylor.com, find the toolbar at the top of the page, and look for "Libraries." You'll find some other essays there too.
