Meanwhile library usage is actually going down in this country, so apparently people aren’t into waiting.

As recently as five years ago I loved our public library, but now it has become a meetinghouse for fellow travelers to network, a babysitter for welfare recipients and a puppet/bookreading/storytelling/folksong center catering to middle-class metrosexual daddies. Still, if they hadn't purged themselves of nearly everything but leftist political science books, alternate lifestyle apologetics and how to live "green" guides, I'd put up with the coexistence caucus.

But they have pared the books down by at least two-thirds in order to make room for trendy, PC crap on the taxpayers' dime. I'd be willing to wait if there was anything left, but there isn't.
