I currently have ten books out from the library. I have read, oh, two and a half and they are due on Thursday, alas. But that’s not the point.
Is there anything better than libraries? I think not.
I read a ridiculous amount, usually 50+ books a year, though it depends on a number of factors. Mostly fantasy, mysteries, science fiction, the odd romance, classic, nonfiction, etc, but my point is that I read much more than I could ever hope to buy in a year. Plus I’m not spending money on books that I may not like or ever want to read again. I can experiment with genres I’m unfamiliar with and check out recommendations from friends or books I need for book clubs. IT IS BRILLIANT.
Besides, even in this era of Google, sometimes it’s easier and/or faster to do research at the library, and they offer a quiet place to work and free internet on which to do said work.
Libraries, what can’t they do? Highly landsquid recommended.
And onto the actual ode:
I like libraries
They are sublime
As long as you
Return books on time
