In my part of the world public libraries are basically pretty
crappy, with the possible exception of the State library,
which is much better for non-fiction than fiction & you
can't borrow from it. (The uni libraries are pretty good also
but not fully accessible, i.e. borrowing privileges, to
everyone).
