I don't like the idea of libraries charging for patron access to any media. It goes against everything public libraries have always been about, at least here in the US.

start rant! People need to get off this I don't want to pay any taxes, or I only want to pay taxes for what benefits me directly kick. It has gone too far! stop rant.

If the libraries must charge for anything to find another source of revenue I would rather they charge for DVD rental. According to the director of my local library this is the biggest cost to them (speaking only of the various media they offer) because of the popularity of DVD checkouts and the fact that DVDs only last a few months before replacement is required.
