I apologize for "editing" your post but for the sake of brevity...
If the facts in this
link are remotely true, libraries are amazingly cost efficient. Admittedly, this is not an unbiased source.

Public libraries do not provide complete and convenient access to the most needy. If you are too poor or too young to get to a public school, then maybe you are too poor or young to get to the public library.

This is amazingly incorrect. I volunteered in libraries in NY/NJ and this was not my experience at all. I saw lots of people, young and old and mostly lower income, using the PCs + Internet. Looking for jobs! On a Sunday. When there are lots of help wanted ads in the local paper. I'm all for that!
