I think this would have been great when I was a kid.

And if you're worried that the kids won't be learning....at least they're going to the library....where they can't help but be introduced to the literary culture.

 

This is the point of why libraries are doing this.  People want this service and they greatly appreciate it.  Everytime I would go into the library over the summer, the place would be jumping with activity.  I was legitimately surprised how many people came to the library on such a regular basis.  And a lot of people who were checking out movies were checking out books too.

Why should a library simply exist, use taxpayer money, and provide no services that people actually want?  Obviously, they shouldn't do everything people would like them to do, but I think it is great the libraries are expanding the services they offer.  Would you rather we paid for libraries but barely anyone got an actual use out of them?  That seems even more wasteful to me.

 

People don't want free books?  My library is always full with people reading.

Besides if it's the library system I think it is... via my googling skills...

It has a history of failed Library levies and really could use that money for other things.
