In the Good Old Days

Do you miss the old card catalogs?  With some of the challenges we've had these past few weeks with our internet connections, you might even find some of us librarians fondly longing for the days when we could look for a book by rifling through the drawers.  But those days are gone, and although the card catalog has gone digital, people are finding innovative uses for those old oaken cabinets.  

People have created wine chests, planters, jewelry caches, yarn and craft drawers, kitchen islands and buffet tables and coffee tables. The ideas are endless.  And if you find one at a good price at a yard sale, consider yourself lucky, because some of them are going for big bucks on ebay.
