No copies of Njal’s Saga.
No copies of Laxdale Saga.
One copy of Egil’s Saga, in reserve stock and only accessible for a fee.

Whether it is a cause or an effect, I feel the state of our libraries is symptomatic of the wider state of the nation. And they aren’t in a good way.

Many libraries have eBooks and audiobooks for loan to your favorite reading device! Why are you paying money to Audible or Kindle or Nook when you can borrow and read or listen for free? Save some money and read and listen more! Talk to your librarian about their approach!
