I would have no problem with a privately funded library system. In the Boy Scouts, parents are asked to contribute what they can. The BSA presents each with a flyer that includes the 'fair share' (cost divided by scouts). Maybe the libraries could do the same. Wealthy advocates could pay their own way plus that of a couple less fortunate. I would also support commercialization -- Amazon gets to be the home page on the library computers and is prominently promoted in exchange for paying the bills.
I think this would change the nature of libraries for the better.
