To you, perhaps. But not to the old lady who just got a Kindle for Christmas. Or to the soccer mom who bought her kid a nook thinking she would never have to buy books for it because you could get everything at the library.

Publishers are ephemeral, they are big companies most people don't have direct contact with. The library is a building that you can vote against next time there's a referendum for a new building or tax levy hike.
