That is so amazing that you were born in Niles!!!! It really is a small world! Niles is a teensy tiny little speck on the map! :o) I am just really excited to hear that you even know where it is...LOL re: the library issue. It is sad, but makes sense. I really dont need to go to the library...I own one. :o) But, I would like to get involved and have it for books that I cant find. At the time I wanted to get audio books to listen to when i am at work. But, the Niles Library didnt have much of a selection. I had already listened to what they had and I was interested in. I just think that because I pay local taxes to the county, because I work there....I shouldnt have to pay the 120 dollars to get a library card. I think that I am going to look into the issue though. Maybe because I pay taxes, they wont make me pay for the card. I dont know. Nichole

I have heard of things like this though, just this past spring my local library (which is a fantastic and beautiful library) proposed charging for cards for people who do not live in my county. It had to do with funding and the fact that this library cost taxpayers loads of money to build and maintain, but people who were not paying those taxes were reaping many of the benefits. I can see where they are coming from... but all booklovers know how great the library is because it's free and chock full of books. My library decided against this plan for now, but I'm sure it will be revisited. -tabby90 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
