The existence of libraries in our modern society is pretty disturbing. I find burrowed in this fact a tendency that proves how ignorant we are. And now I will use logic to prove it to you. You certainly have car, vacuum cleaner, barbeque and so on. These are very useful items and since you need them you have purchased them and you own them. So you purchase and own items to satisfy your needs. How many books you have in your house? Why you go to the library to have books? You go there because you have a need of certain knowledge and you can get it from there loaning temporarily a book. Now think about your barbeque. Do you use it every day? You have a certain need of a barbeque but not everyday. Why there is no a barbeque loaner the same way as book loaners exist? You prefer to by your own barbeque instead of just loaning one when you need it. Which is more important for you then – to have tasty steaks or to gain more knowledge? As it appears books are second hand commodity if you follow my logic here – a twisted saying but it seems logical to me.
