Neil Gaiman linked to this earlier today: http://sirriamnis.livejournal.com/1898157.htmlAll I can say, as an aspiring librarian, this absolutely breaks my heart. I used to go to my local library once a week to check out three shopping bags worth of books. (I read ridiculously fast.) My parents never bought books for me because we couldn't afford it. Statistically, I shouldn't have made it to university. I like to think my success is mostly due to the wonderful ladies at my local library. Libraries are a resource we should never have to do without.
