Books, books, books...

Membership Libraries: Exclusive playgrounds for book lovers

We have one of the most used public libraries in the country in my city. It may have something to do with the long, cold winters, perhaps. None-the-less, I certainly support it, and we make regular use of it. In this time of electronic information and financial cutbacks it needs all the support it can get to keep it free and available for everyone. Having a library worker in the family I know, too, about the changing attitudes people have toward libraries. Often they're little more than a place to sit while you use the 'net.

Still, my love of books and research and reading makes the idea of a member library a very attractive idea...
