True, true.... But in these times wouldn't a digital library be the better option, with the paper books kept in climate-controlled storage for when one really needs to touch them?
I would suggest that if the digital library was searchable then it would generate greater traffic...

They have a HUGE collection of all the books by Kinky Friedman and I've read just about all of them. Working on Clive Cussler now. My daughter still goes quite often and my kids used to love getting books there, when they were younger. Now, if only their old man could have remembered to get the books returned in time. I could have saved a small fortune. Not to mention all of the CD's and DVD's they have available for checkout. For those with kids, or on a budget, or who loathe the idea of reading a book on a Kindle or somesuch, you can't beat your public library!
