Are you in a location that does not have a public library?

(Anonymous) 2014-06-26 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

This is a good moment to remember that libraries in certain countries can be very restrictive (in my country only high schoolers and college students can borrow books to take home; everyone else can only read them in the library) and can have a very limited selection of books (Encyclopedias? Dictionaries? Technical texts? Sure. Literature? Only classics and some more recent novel-prize winners, that's all you'll find in the public libraries in my country For some reasons they do have an excellent collection of magazines. I guess it's because those get donated pretty frequently?)

Maybe it's the same for the other anon?

That is incredibly unfortunate and I wish it weren't that way.

AYRT

I wish the same, but sadly I don't think that'll change anytime soon, since it has been like this for over 30 years.

To be fair, non-public libraries (most of them owned by cooperatives) are better when it comes to children literature, but that's it.

I'm curious, now. Where are you from?

I live in a location that has one of the biggest library systems in the world, and even there, demand and theft makes it difficult to get the books you want when you want them. Seems like every damn one only has the second book in every series ever.

Going on this, not all of them have eLibraries (or good ones, at least), and not everyone has an eReader, anyway. I read things on my laptop, which last time I tried, my city's elibrary did not like/cooperate with (too easy to pirate, I guess). And the nearest physical library is...still pretty far.

Libraries are just hard to access for some people, and what there is to access in them isn't always worth putting in that effort, anyway.
