It's the co-op model, which USA generally has no problems with as long as it's elective, e.g. you aren't forced to depend on it.

- pbhjpbhj 8y agoIt's different to a co-op model as you don't have to individually buy in, it's provided as a function of the state, no? Are their commonly private [non-state run] libraries in USA that you can become a member of, I'd guess not, which makes your claim about election/forced dependency seem strange (in context, though it might work more generally).
- st26 8y agoYes, it's a little bit different than a regular co-op, but: 1) it's paid for mostly by your local government, not the federal government, so there's some self-determination. 2) You can get your books there, but you don't have to get your books there, and you can still have your own collection.
