I totally disagree with that. Yes, the Internet has made it much easier to do research at home but the local libraries still have a huge trove of materials that just can't be found on the Internet - especially regarding research on a local level.

Try Free Libraries. We have them in Massachusetts. They are founded by the private sector, usually an industrialist who did well and wants to pay the community back. Financially, they are better managed than the public libraries. I think the public ones are staffed with communists.

Interesting. I will check one out, do you know of any north of Boston?
