I don’t know if you are familiar with Ask Reddit. It’s sort of an open forum for asking questions of the community, Reddit style. I enjoyed reading the answers to the “Do you use your local library?” thread.

Oh, Jessamyn. I am sooo familiar with how, when, where, and how much people use their local libraries. Now, if we could only convince them that we can do a *better* job with a little slack in our budget. I’m getting really scared that public libraries face their greatest threat from a public who uses more, expects more, and wants to contribute less.
Didn’t you just love it when Glenn Beck went on his diatribe about government spending — and then said he educated himself “at the library — the books are free”! Well, libraries are awesome but not really free!
Libraries are indeed awesome. I work at my local library pretty much fulltime. I create information products. I am just waiting for wireless access.
With the help of books I have created these two blogs:
Audio Spanish Lessons
Speak French Fluently
I rarely use local library as they don’t make any improvement. They count on gov budget which is less even none and they don’t use their creativity. So, what do we expect? And one more thing, the important one, they don’t put professional (librarian) to run library because they don’t understand the benefit. Bagus Indonesia
