No.  How many libraries still have typewriters available anyway?  We have
ONE in the building, and it is in the administrative office....for the rare
occasions when typing on a multi-part form is required.  

And to play along with your game, maybe we should then remove all paper and
pencils from the library too?  Let's not get tooooo ridiculous at this
stuff....

Sent me a postcard of a library yet?  You'll get something nice in return.
