Inter-Library Loans
January 16, 2006
There are things a government should spend money on
and there are things a government shouldn't spend money on.
I'm not a big fan of government subsidized golf balls or golf courses
but I have absolutely no problem with the government
directing some of my tax dollars toward
a subsidized mail rate for books.
Currently the federal government is subsidizingbthe shipping costs of books
between libraries as part of the interlibrary loans program. It allows all
Canadians access to a wider selection of books and is worth maintaining in its
current form -- but the government won't commit to holding up its end.
It is rural libraries that will suffer the most --
because of smaller populations and collections, they rely on
inter-library loans to meet the needs of their consumers.
A good library service is worth fighting to maintain.

I don't need...
last names to know who Debbie and Toni-Marie are and I can find my way from Happy Adventure to Misery Point in the fog. My morning comes a half hour earlier and any day without 'RDF' is good. I've seen a mummer, tasted toutons and the image conjured by the word Dildo might be different for me than you because I'm a product of this place.
