[Back in April 03, There was a call for a second
round of library haiku from the readership.  See
the first one in the colldv-l archives-

   http://www.infomotions.com/serials/colldv-l/

by searching on 'haiku.'

Here is the compilation of this round.
Thanks to all the contributors.  We'll do it
again this winter.   ja]

Books, books, serials -
Stack after delightful stack…
Our world recorded.

Where can I find out
What I need to know? Of course!
In the library!

A reader's heaven
Filled with print. Come in, sit down
And share the wonder.

New buzz
Old problem
