I am providing a service that many people obviously value.

A degree of lying - you know, white lies - seems to be inherent in all languages and all forms of communication.

Many scammers are only using personal checks for payment because they can take the money and run.

There are thousands of grant programs and every program has different requirements and deadlines.

There are thousands and thousands of free programs available for people of any income level.

I can't help thinking if she-the director of a government agency-is this ignorant about what funding is available and where the money comes from-how often lower-level bureaucrats must give wrong answers when people are looking for help to start a business.

What is also strange to me is that public libraries have always been in the forefront of opposing censorship.
