    That’s sad. I think it says something about the tight times libraries are facing. And as people face all their economic struggles, they are using the libraries more. So they need to keep buying new books. Yikes.

    I wonder what the stats are for adult books, but even if it’s not hugely different (or maybe even more so) this does make me go “eeek!”
