Ever since I was younger I have enjoyed reading books at the local library. Have you ever been to a library?
Oh yes - I love libraries not just for books but for newspapers, magazines, DVDs and lots of other things!
You are right, my vision was too limited. I have had the option to rent all of those items you mentioned from a library and that is a good opportunity.
My last two libraries also provided digital access to a wide range of material, which was very helpful when I was injured.
That's great that they offered that. I think it is good that they expanded access to resources past brick and mortar because that is the way of the world.
Exactly, and it's great that it doesn't matter if the library itself is just a few shelves or many millions of books. With digital more people can access more items of interest.
These days, libraries are also functioning as community centers to help people mobilize and organize for their rights.
That's true. In the past libraries were mainly for education, literacy and books, but that has changed.
