If no one reads the FIRST book by some author because they happened to see it in a library and checked it out on a whim then they are unlikely to go on and avidly search for and buy all that author's other books. I found most of my favorite authors through the library. It's the cheapest effective promotion for an author available. Much cheaper and more effective than an expensive advertising campaign. Cutting out libraries is STUPID regardless of it's social value. Maybe like dinosaurs the big 6 are too big and stupid to survive.
