libraries1

Do you think that maybe Benjamin Franklin's wife was the true inspiration for his brainchild, the public library?

People gather hundreds of books.  They could have used their library cards and saved thousands.

Years later they have all these books demanding storage space and dusting and being a sore spot in familial relationships.  There's no point to keeping something if you'll never use it again, no matter how wondrous and precious it may feel to you.

Here's a thought.  Get a library card.  When you borrow a book rather than buy it, take that money and... well... you could send it to me.
