[QUOTE=sommerpears;1313628]I agree with one of the previous posts - that you can't blame the government or politicians for slashing budget cuts where they have when you look at the popularity of that service. I'm not saying that libraries should be dissolved but realistically only a handful of people still regularly go to libraries- even less if they are off-campus ones.

This is demonstrably false. As several people in this thread have noted, and I myself have observed, public libraries are frequently packed with people. Certainly more than a 'handful.'
