Hmmm, those clever human librarypeople...

They're really figuring out how to find all kinds of stuff. This new wiki thingie is interesting: All the info can be revised on the spot if the situation changes. With the old print encyclopedia books, you could only recycle them into nesting materials for the birds and rats when they became outdated. Not that I mind the rats having a nice cozy place to live (they're fellow rodents, after all. Skittish, but brothers in arms...er, teeth), but with all the print books being made from trees...well, lets just say that squirrel real estate has been at a premium. And you humans wonder why we're so mean. All I can tell you is: Support affordable housing for squirrels. Use wikis!

There's a lot you can do with wikis, especially libraryhumans. For one thing, you can set them up for the patronhumans to find out all the necessary things they need to go through life. I mean, squirrel life ain't easy, but I don't need a wiki yet, but you guys definitely do. Also, libraryhumans, set up your own organization wiki to find out fixes to technical problems or other procedures you do everyday. Your traineehumans will thank you.

(Just as an aside, the first time I heard the term 'wiki', I asked:"Mmmm, what kind of nut is that? Is it tasty?")
