Library cards! Who has one?
« on: September 29, 2012, 06:29:46 PM »
This is an off shoot over the postal service debate. Me, I prefer ink on paper, so I'm in favor of the USPS (please keep comments on that institution to that thread). Some who oppose it say its obsolete, no reason for the citizens to subsidize out dated tech, its all digital now. So here's an honest question. How many of you (honestly) have a library card and borrow books? I'm one. I am curious to hear the responses.

Make that a double.  Don't watch the Idiot Box at all.  Can't afford all the books I have and will read.  Some things are just not available online.

Edit:  the Post Office and the Public Library are apples and oranges, one actually fulfills a need.
“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.”

I do as well though I haven't used it much the last few months.

It's my tribute to Ray Bradbury..... ;)

I have had one for several years. Don't use it much. My reading is sporadic. May not read any books for several years at a time the alll of a sudden I'm reading 2 or 3 at the same time.  Back when i was in junior high school I went thru the entire science fiction section in on summer at the city library.

Barrowing books is very rare, but countless hours in the refrence only section.   
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

The last time I used my library card was to checkout books on CDs for long road trips.  Now that I no longer have a reason to make that trip I have not used it in a couple of years.

Nope...no card here.
You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.
