Read a New Book Month

It’s probably been a while since you walked around a library – browsing the shelves for a new book to read.  These days, most of us turn to Amazon or GoodReads to find a new book to enjoy.  How many remember having to look up a book in the school library using an actual card catalog – not searching the online catalog – placing a marker between the cards to mark the one you removed so you could take it out and search the shelves for it!  J. Risom was awarded a patent for his Card Catalog Drawer in February 1970 (US Pat. No. 3,495,731).  Inventions would be found in the 600s under the Dewey Decimal System!  Moment of truth – when you read a paperback book, do you break the binding?  Let us know in the comments below.  Grab a new read and celebrate #readanewbookmonth with @bigiplaw.  #patentfunfacts #bookclub #letsread #newbook #hardcoverorpaperback
