This week, I am learning about images and copyright. As easy as it is to just copy and paste images from all over the web, it is important to take the time to read about the laws that protect those images. Every now and then, I will use images I find online to make publicity for activities at the library where I work, or to use as references for the paintings I make and the painting classes I teach. To the right of this text is an adorable picture of a black and white cat "reading" a book titled "Bad Cats". I found on Wikimedia Commons, searching with the keywords "animals reading".
