Hello friends. I wanted to share with you a post I wrote for The World’s Strongest Librarian, aka Josh Hanagarne. (which, by the way, is a wonderful site to follow, if you like books, knowledge – and Russian Kettle Bells)
A couple of days ago Josh published a guest post from Roman, who asserted that libraries were horrible wastes of resources. I was astonished and appalled that ANYONE could feel that way about libraries, and I rushed to defend what had been and still is one of my favorite places to visit.
The result? A Ferocious Rebuttal to “Why I Never Go to the Public Library”
Do you know how much stuff your library offers – for free? Get a sense of it by reading the post.
How about you? Love libraries or hate them?

I love public libraries. They are one of the most important cornerstones in our society.

@ Ami I Love libraries and books as well obviously. I think it is sad that soon books will be mere artifacts. book shops are my greatest indulgence:-)

@Stephen: There is nothing that can blow my budget faster than 2 hours at a local bookstore. (another reason to love the library!)
