What they fail to comprehend is that the "they" to which the posters refer are the ones who purchase books to read and don't need to "borrow" them from a publicly funded source. I, myself, have well over 500 volumes in my personal library, which represent but a fraction of the total number of books I've read.
The tomes in my personal library are ones I wanted to preserve and pass down to my posterity for their consideration. I consider the information in them thought provoking and worthwhile. The gem of them all is a 9 volume collection of the writings of Thomas Jefferson that, quite literally, took an act of Congress to be published. I'm only guessing here, but I'm thinking the people who posted that rubbish about meeting at the library have never perused most, if any, of those writings.
I will also admit that every volume of "Dragonriders of Pern" and "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever" are present in the library, along with the obligatory volumes of "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings" and many of the works published by Ayn Rand and C.S. Lewis. Noticeably absent are such titles as "Dreams from My Fathers" and "Audacity of Hope", which I found to be mostly rubbish.
