Do you use your public library?

If not, you should

a public library is a great place to enrich your mind without spending a penny (if you return the books on time that is;-))

Who knows what magical world of mystery fantasy and excitement you may find while at your public library.

While at your library ask others for recommendations of books to be read, they will be glad to share their opinions and offer you many books that you might have never even heard of.

Remember, your public library is your friend on the inside, the inside of the literary world that is!

    They are building a brand new library here in town. I should probably check it out once it's finished.

    Yes, but not for books. The selection of movies and documentaries is better than any of the rental places I live near, and at a fraction of the price.

    I used it all the time during college. It was actually quite a bit better than the campus library. Go figure.

    There's a place labeled as a public library kinda close to me.

    I've tried to go a couple of time, but it never seems to be open.

    It has a couple of big towers that look like they could hold missiles.

    I think something sinister is going on in that place.

    My school has a very nice library.

    The public library near my house seems nice enough, but I always see homeless people sleeping in the doorway. I don't want to step on a homeless person just to get a book.

    Man, in my city the homeless people show some courtesy and only pass out in front of convenience stores that no one goes to in the first place. They're grade-A hobos/crackheads. REAL KEEN.

    The people I have spoken to at public libraries have been some of the friendliest people I have ever met, and were more than happy to search for a "book" if i was not able to find it myself!

    I'm picturing a book themed batman villain.
    Abandoned by his junky parents on the door step of the Public Library he was taken in by the kindly old Librarian who home schooled him.
    Without the contact of school children, he made friends with his favourite characters in books.

    As the tide of electronic media came in, books were abandoned for Television and the Internet and the Library's funding was cut.

    Then, as a man in his twenties we was witness to a horrible act, Mindless street thugs broke into the Library and started burning books! His only friends were being killed by uneducated fools, and, as the blaze reached its peak, the kindly old Librarian was trapped under a falling shelf of American History A-H and burned alive.

    He swore revenge, those responsible for destroying everything he loved would pay, and the world would appreciate the written word again, they would have to. For when he destroyed the internet and the TV networks, books would see glory again.

    Vercotti: Well, I had noticed that the lad with the thermonuclear device was the chief constable for the area. So a week later they called again and told me the cheque had bounced and said... I had to see... Doug.

    2nd Interviewer: Doug?

    Vercotti: Doug. (takes a drink) Well, I was terrified. Everyone was terrified of Doug. I've seen grown men pull their own heads off rather than see Doug. Even Dinsdale was frightened of Doug.

    2nd Interviewer: What did he do?

    Vercotti: He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious.
