The written word - especially in ink and paper physical form - just doesn't draw like it once did. Facts are facts. Instead of hiding its head in the sand and pretending this isn't the case, the Tacoma Public Library has been taking matters into its own hands - scheduling a multitude of fun and multi-sensory entertainment options at libraries all over town. Thursday, comedian Bill Robison - known for his physical antics - makes an appearance at the Wheelock Library.
