"public libraries (no ads but "free")" - They're not free are they?

  They have been wherever I've lived, you only would ever pay a late fee if you dont return a book in time, or if you're printing something. The caveat sometimes is that you need to be a resident of the town to access the normal services for free.

    Aren't these sponsored from public money? They are where I live.

      From GGP post: > "free" in scare quotes to refer to not paying money per usage or to gain access to usage, but you may be paying in other ways
