Most Americans are not likely to visit a public library in the next year. What does this say about our tax dollars "at work?”
I don't think people realize how valuable a resource libraries are. In my opinion they're a great use of tax dollars, but as this chart shows, most people don't take advantage.
More remarkable now that you can use your library electronically. Most of the books I read this year were on my kindle app, delivered free from my library.
The library is great for studying too. Nothing like being around all those books! I try to go weekly.
