What’s your beef? And what are you fixing by providing a special choice that can compete with the general public library and presumably take away circulation numbers in such a approach that it may grow to be even *much less* “absolutely funded” (this will imply ANYTHING, and I strongly suspect you don’t know the way prices break down at your public library)?

You aren’t serving to your neighborhood by constructing your individual non-public library. However maybe that was by no means your purpose
