Libraries

I really have to complain about the Hamilton County Library. My little hometown of Franklin, KY has got the big city of Chattanooga totally beat when it comes to a library. I've been to two of the branches here and have been very disappointed. The selection is very poor and limited, but even more atrocious--anything current must be rented out. Now that is not a library to me. I'm sure not going to shell out $2 for the privilege of reading a book when for a couple dollars more, I could own it. It's no wonder kids in the South have a reputation of not being able to read. Who wants to read unattractive, grungy old books that bore you to tears.

I guess I'll not totally write it off until I've been to the main branch which is downtown. That in itself is totally inconvenient since parking is a nightmare and expensive downtown. So much for living in a big city.
