I ran across this wonderful blog post by Tom Barlow at WalletPop about the value of public libraries and the awesome educational/entertainment bang we get for our buck. For $31 a year, the price of dinner and a movie - or a movie, anyway - every American has unlimited access to the universe of ideas. It's the democratic ideal made real.
To quote novelist E.L. Doctorow:
The three most important documents a free society gives are a birth certificate, a passport, and a library card.Damn straight.
