Comments on: a plea to LiB readers: vote to show support for my local library http://librarianinblack.net/librarianinblack/2010/01/votesrpl.html Amazingly informed & therefore properly opinionated.

Even if they do not get to the Library, they can download books, check magazine sources, look for articles in local newspapers.They can search the catalog and have books, dvd's, books on cd or music waiting for them to pick up. Just buying 2 or 3 new novels can easily cost $49. Our public libraries are such a good deal.
