Check this out. Sunday NYTimes 4/4/10 opinion by Daniel Golfman & Gregory Norris. Interesting. Love the last line, "All in all, the most ecologically virtuous way to read a book starts by walking to your local library."

In last Saturday's NY Times (06/20/09) Ray Bradbury is quoted as saying, "Libraries raised me. I don't believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries ..." Mr. Bradbury's lifelong passion for books ranks high. Remember "Fahrenheit 451"? According to the article, at almost 90 years young, he still can be found regularly at a branch of the Los Angeles Public Library.
