I take my grandson to story time and we look at books while we are there. I never actually check anything out since I got my Kindle. I figure story time makes up for whatever I pay in taxes to support the library - that is not itemized on our local property taxes.

I can't complain anyway since I moved to FL and trash pick-up is paid for by taxes. Having always lived in WV and paid robbery prices ($3.25 per bag) to have trash hauled away, I feel like I've hit the lottery. I can drag anything up to the curb ... old appliances, boxes of whatever, furniture, un-bagged trash (in a can), you name - they take it. This alone makes me glad to hand over my property taxes every year.
