Just because you cannot/will not walk more than 2 miles does not mean it isn't within walking distance.

I have to say, I somewhat disagree on the cannot walking part. If you happen to be paraplegic, nothing is quite within walking distance. *Budump tish*
Seriously, though, I'm the closest I've ever been to a library, and it is about two and a half or three miles away. Before that, I was about 10 miles from a library, but I couldn't use it since I didn't live within the city limits. Before that, it was about 5 miles to the library. I could walk to the one by me now, if I really wanted to, but probably wouldn't if driving wasn't an option.
