Not sure who needs to hear this today, but remember, your local public library benefits from being used! Usage statistics are how librarians argue for funding! By using this shared service more, you are making it BETTER for everyone else!
It's the glory of the commons, not the tragedy of the commons. Go to the library!!!
@joannarifkin This is so important. If you really want a book don't order it from Amazon, order it from a library, they'll happily get a copy.
Then it can be read by countless people for years. You can read it whenever you want.
You don't have to own something to enjoy it.
In my experience you are lucky to have a library that will happily order a book they don't have. But it is definitely worth a try!

Yep, I volunteered at our local library for over 10 years. Anytime anyone wanted a book we didn't have it was immediately ordered and added to the collection.
Also, my husband reads ebooks one after another. We get those from the library too. I can't imagine what it would have cost us for all the books he's read.
