| Sounds outdated! My library doesnt even require me to walk in anymore, they send any book I want to read or listen to straight to my phone, and if they don't have it I can request they acquire it and send it to me for free |

| Sounds VERY Communist, or Socialist, or some other scary thing. Are you sure it's legal? Why, the AUTHORS and PUBLISHERS are being denied the revenues they would get if you would buy the book; or at least rent it. So, are libraries theft of Authors' and Publishers' renumeration? (And, to think, the richest man in the world at the time, Andrew Carnegie, endowed so many Libraries!) |

| Wait until you hear about my private library that resides on a Synology NAS. I can access it from anywhere in the world, on any device, and it's filled with whatever books I can bother to decide that I want that title. I have about 20,000 (not counting periodicals) all carefully curated and retail quality. I even got rid of those annoying generic Bantam Press covers and replaced them with the high-res stuff off the publisher's site. Not sure what the appeal of the public library is, when you can have your own. |
