  • Hmm, so I guess "ignorance really is bliss". You all claim that libraries don't matter and yet, you all the ones that took time out of your days to hate on them, what sense does that make? And while YOU may not appreciate the history and education the NYPL has to give many other people do. And next time you have a term paper or whatever and are citing information, just remember it is the NYPL who put it there so your lazy self can "copy and paste it"

  • there is nothing like reading a real book. text on your computer screen cannot compare.

    and even people who can't afford internet access CAN go into a library and read. there's no sense in ranting online saying "down with libraries," they are a crucial part of our society.

  • @MombasaNightTrain Thank you for providing such a prime example of why libraries are still so important, and why education is necessary.

  • @georgegrasser So you're saying that you are against the idea of the existence of libraries in America because you had an altercation with the staff members of ONE library? If you are truly interested in education, why make such a broad, blanket statement disavowing American libraries?

  • People says they are satisfied with Google, but they don't know what they miss!!

  • Lang meiy thi Beuik's lum reek!!

  • **is it for the adults themselves or for the kids and the new generation? **

    Both. Such a binary choice is a false distinction.

  • Libraries are dead, and all of the library supporters should die.

    LONG LIVE TEH INTERWEBZ!

  • What? The Lakeland (Florida) Public library banned me for life for teaching children chess last month. The librarian thought it was odd I took an interest in fellow humans.

    No due process, no right of appeal. The City Counsel refuses to hear my complaint.

    I will never support a library in America again!
