Four literary themed trucks are part of a new ad campaign for the Johnson County Library. Officials hope the trucks will spark interest and bring even more readers to their doors.

“Barkley Advertising Agency, a locally based business, offered its service — valued at $33,000 — free of charge. Company vice-president Tom Demetriou offered the pro bono work because he wanted to remind people of the sanctuary found at libraries, where the community is intrinsically bound by stories.”

John Gottman: The Magic Relationship Ratio

Take a little more than a minute out of your day and find out the important ratio that best predicts which couples will stay together and which ones won’t.

(And, if you’re interested in stuff like this, Gottman is your man - a titan in the field who has been studying couples for decades now, and learned some fascinating things)

Apparently, negative things have 5 times the impact of positive things.

Stability - 5:1

Divorce - .08:1
