Wow! I looked up my county's budget lines for library services. $6.3M for a population of 400,000, or about $15 per capita. We have no DVDs at all, no Overdrive either, just NetLibrary for ebooks. The core physical book selection is decent, but all the branches are completely closed every Friday.
I've twice written my county commissioner to protest proposed library cuts, looks like I should be pushing for an increase.
