What about bookmobiles? When I was small there was only one library but there was the bookmobile. I think it came by every two weeks and what was neat was that you could request a book from the main library and when it was available it would show up on the bookmobile.
I now live in an affluent area. However, there are still plenty of families who wouldn't have books or music or movies or internet access if it wasn't for the library. The schools really can't substitute for the public library. Not open on the week-ends or school holidays. And my schools haven't been publicly funded for additional books for five years. Parents have to raise money to purchase books.
Income must not be a barrier to books.
