But on the flip side, I went just last week, with my whole family, and we picked out two large shopping bags of books. Libraries are amazing places for children, and their parents. As an aside, I have to also give kudos to my local school district, which has some kind of arrangement with the public library system to give library cards to all elementary students. This not only gives them lending privileges, but also the ability to take advantage of all of the other library system's partnerships and discounts. Libraries are still great, but it probably depends a lot on where you live, and what you expect from one.
