My library system is terrific. Books and and audio books can be reserved via internet. Most can be renewed twice, also online, for a total of nine weeks. The small fines for being overdue just keep people from being careless about returning things. The same people who do not return grocery store carts to parking lot kiosks might think nothing of simply not returning books if there were no fine.
True: Libraries have become a place for bums and ex-prisoners to get comfy and surf for pr0n.
I did not feel like my daughter was safe there.
It is obvious that the bums and their pr0n come before families and children.
I complained once. I was told there was nothing they could do.
Thus, the public library is dead to me. I and my people have been fully disenfranchised from it.
We just get to pay for it. That there is a crime.
A million books available for you, well 53,000 free ebooks.
