Illinois Budget Crisis | Are Libraries Necessary, or a Waste of Tax Money?: "They eat up millions of your hard earned tax dollars. It's money that could be used to keep your child's school running. So with the internet and e-books, do we really need millions for libraries?
Libraries are quiet havens for the community. They take us to other worlds. They even make us laugh. But should these institutions -- that date back to 1900 B.C. -- be on the way out?"

They are correct. Who needs paved roads nowadays? Anyone can get a four wheel drive.
I hadn't thought of that!
But, but, where will the bums sleep?
The only bad thing I can think of about libraries is that numerous people get to read books without my author friends actually getting numerous royalty payments.
A couple years ago I read a comment somewhere, "Aren't you glad we already have librtaries? Can you imagine getting an idea like that through Congresss today?"
