Default Leaky outdoor faucet -- bigger problem?

And you think you'll find a repair book at a library? Oh you'll find the
best sellers, paperback historical romances, hand-puppets, video games, art
work, and discussion classes, but not repair books.

Heck, there's even one library (in Berkely, where else) where you can check
out tools such as gasoline post-hole diggers, compressors, paint-sprayers,
chain saws, scaffolding, ladders, etc.

But they don't have repair books either.


Pretty unusual (but then again, that would be Berekely) for a
general-circulation library in my experience to not have at least a
moderate collection of such...
