I can read that for free, and even hang on to it for a couple of weeks, as soon as the library opens today.

Actually I don't need to wait, because it's available immediately over the Internet in eBook format, with my library card.

There are also CDs, DVDs, and on-demand audio/video available with a library card.

I visited a library across town, and many sections were given over to video games for various popular console systems.

I can access almost every book and every paper that exist in seconds over the internet...

I also got a job in science and I think it's partly because I read a lot of papers (illegaly) since years.
