Someone said if they couldn't find a book they wanted at the library they would buy the book. Well sure, but how did they know they wanted that book? I found most of my favorite authors by trying out a pile of unknown to me authors at the library. I would never have bought them because at that point being unknown to me I didn't especially want them I was just mildly curious. After I found an author I liked at the library then I searched the bookstores for them because I wanted the books available without having to wait for them. Without the library I never would have bought those authors because 9 out of 10 authors I try turn out to not be to my taste. The risk isn't worth the expense for a unknown to me author. Spend $100 to find one author I like? Forget it.
