The small branch libraries are important because they provide a safe and (hopefully) educational place for kids to go to. When I was a kid, I'd go hang out at the local branch library because our house had no AC and it was hot as hell. It was either that or the Sears. Got a lot of reading done. Once in a while, my dad would drive us to the big library for the bigger selection. That was a treat.
It's really sad to see library funds get cut, opening days and hours dropped, branches closed...
