You know good and well that the library system is being used exponentially less and less over the years for book reading, literature etc. Amazon and e-readers have revolutionized the way we consume books and other media/literature/periodicals. It's not up for discussion.


You know the Goodwood Library serves a lot more functions than just checking out books. It's not up for discussion.

So many people have the mindset of "I don't use this or that, so frick it. I'm not in favor of a tax to help it."

You know there are people out there that don't have the money to get e-books, but I'm sure you do, so frick those people.

With a library card, you can check out e-books for free.


Yeah, you still have to have an e-reader.

Why in the hell would I care about whether someone else can afford books? Why should I be forced to pay for it? Communism creeps in more all the time and you jerks applaud it.

People who bitch about public funding for libraries should never bitch about an increasingly ignorant society.

Speaking of that...there is a section of Goodwood that has employment search and placement. People bitch about worthless welfare leaches? Well there were 6 people in there on the computers utilizing the service in the two hours that I was there. In my visits to that library with my son, it's a very busy library.
