But I'm all for children loving to read; it definitely improves their learning skills.

There's also a branch in Century, one on the Westside, and the bookmobile schedules stops at regular times all over town. You can go online and make a list of the books/materials you want and they will be delivered to the branch you specify. I would wager most children in this county have never been to a library because the adults in their life don't go.

I would rather have that instead of a free library card which is free anyway. This is nice but could they please build a library in Cantonment?

Was there some reason students who wanted a card could not just request one at school instead of handing out 41,000 cards, most of which will either be lost or not used? Just wondering!
