I didn't have library going up that didn't require driving 30 miles. I was far more starved for the books than the community notions. Admittedly, I am what Harold Bloom refers to as a "solitary reader" so clearly that influences my choice here. But so does my county and city property tax bill. I understand breaking out of the box to get kids to libraries, but when that means cutting other libraries or the books in the current one, you lose me.
