I was counting and determined that I have access to four different libraries (Iowa State, Webster, WI, Richfield, MN, and Princeville, HI). I like to spend time in libraries, much like I like to read and write in coffee shops. The size of the holdings of libraries (with the exception of the University library I still use) doesn't matter much anymore as I only check out digital content and I can do that from any of these libraries remotely. Libraries tend to belong to cooperatives so no matter their physical size their digital holdings tend to be a part of a larger network.
Give a few dollars to your local library. They perform so many important services and some unique to those most in need.
