I'm a former professional librarian. Left the field in 1985, but have never heard of anyone anywhere paying for use of the dewey decimal system. OCLC services is a different issue. You're paying for their provision of cataloging for your collection.

I spend week-long visits at a remote cabin in the Central Cascades. During the winter I have to get outside and get some significant exercise every day. Outside. Exercise. Every day.

I also subscribe to 'The New Yorker'. I disagree vehemently with their politics but respect them as a source of good writing on diverse and sometimes tweaky topics.
