Rac, you just gave us all yet another reason not to go to the library...
I strongly support libraries. I've donated a lot of time to volunteer in my daughter's school libraries, and I've donated books and money to the local public libraries in the places I've lived. Unfortunately, they're not what they used to be and I regret it. Even with the Internet, there's nothing like wandering the stacks and picking up a random book just to see what's in it.
But there's an important issue here: its not just about support, its about *using* the library and getting your kids to do so. When I was doing a lot of work at the local coffee shop, after I got too much caffiene in me, I'd go across the street to the library because it was so nice and quiet (and the power was free too) because there was *never anyone there.* What good is a library if no one uses it?
Don't just support your library, use it too!
Reading is FUNdamental,
