Do you still have a public library in your town?
I would have thought modernity would see them close.
Not been to one in years...
They are pits of leftism. Librarians are no longer your friends.
Modernity is great for those of us who like real books. I have about 15 library cards. When I want to find a book, I surf over to worldcat.org, a database of most of the country's public and academic libraries, to find out which library has the book. That was something you couldn't do int he old days.
Every town I've lived in has a public library. I usually check out books there before purchasing them for my private library.
