The team made fun of me, but I got to spend a delightful hour on a bus full of girls. We got to the meet and we were all laughing and hugging, and the error of their thinking was evident.

A significant part, but a part of a much larger body of work that public libraries do. A public library is a community hub and resource center, as well as a book depository.

When you are trying to decide what to cut from your budget, remember you could, hypothetically, be dying from the nuclear fall out. Gas prices are pretty small in comparison.
