Do you mean Shatner is not classic sci fi? It must be a classic, as much of it is more than ten years old and that is ancient.
Somewhat more on topic, I think that the US lacks affordable after-school programs for kids. They are important as the wages are such that both parents need to work just to scrape by, and thus a parent is not available to take care of their children after school. This being said, such programs should probably be budgeted separately from libraries.
