My wife takes our children to the library all the time. They check out two books a piece and we read them together at home. You might not go to the library, but there are plenty of us who do.
Glad to hear it, but why should taxpayers have to pay for my reading habits? Shouldn't I be responsible for my own reading materials? Since when is the local government responsible for my video/dvd/novel reading experiences? At any rate, I'm only talking about our own library, which is the size of a football field, with thousands of moldering old books, and virtually no patrons. This monstrosity, which is staffed by a half dozen "sleepers," costs us a mint.
We use our local library a lot too...just recently my eight-year-old jedi got interested in Route 66 (because of the movie "Cars") and we checked out all kinds of movies and videos about the topic.
Still, we only go during school hours. It's a madhouse otherwise.
