REGARDING:
“and you will be able to learn how to spell ” library’s””

Your statement confuses me.

Library: a place for books (Let’s go to the library and check out the new Harry Potter book.)
Libraries: places for books ([I love libraries. They have great books.)
Library’s: possessed by a library (The library’s reference section is not for loan.)

Some ebook readers are expensive, some are cheap. My son has downloaded numerous books on his iPhone which he already bought for other purposes. I have seen some MP3 players for under $50 which could serve as ebook readers.

It all depends on your priorities, People spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for some things I wouldn’t have if I were paid the same amount to accept them. There are things I have which others would trash immediately. To each his own. If money were the only consideration and reading the only purpose, an ebook reader would pay for itself with all the gas saved between thousand books downloaded.

However, libraries also have story times and newspapers and film strips and magazines and people with similar interests. If you want those, there are few places other than a library where you will find them

I would love to have a library here in molino,It would be a great idea.A library card is a heck of a lot cheeper than a “ebook reader”and you will be able to learn how to spell ” library’s” isn’t that correct Mr Green.Bring on the book’s.

Of course I’m sure some of their decision was not based on the
# of residents we have here in molino.

Maybe some of the redneck anti- government and establishment
people should have filed that census after all.
Oh thats right, most of you can’t do that because your off the grid
and probably wanted.

I support The Commission appling for the 500K again.The library is needed
in the area of Molino.The library can be a great focal point for the community.Not only is it a great educational resource enjoyed by all,but other important issues
concerning the community can be addressed. at the new library.

Of course a good ebook reader can easily hold 1400 books and fit in your pocket, go with you wherever you go, available whenever you have a minute.

Libraries can do much more, but if just reading is being considered, you can put a fair amount in your shirt pocket.

Sorry to say but libraries are at the bottom of the “important” list. Never mind that even though we now are in the computer age children still need to be able to read and have free access to books. The computer cannot take the place of a good reference book or just reading for the enjoyment of it. Please keep trying to get funding for this worthy project.
