Our library needs to get the voters to re-approve its funding every

to vote yes.
I pointed out that many people do not read books. They watch TV, play
video games, etc. So I suggested the library offer something to the
non-book readers. Perhaps loan sports equipment, movies, video games,
etc. Whatever. My suggestion went in one ear and out the other. They
lost at the next election.

Anyway I think it is a good idea. Might get more people yes for
libraries if they also provide services for the non-book readers.


It's a terrible idea, bordering on Communism. Anyone who suggests such
should be shunned.

They'd probably feel more at home on a commune anyway.
