What would you do if the library closed forever?

What would you do? Do you go to the library at all right now? If you do, did you know that:
1. If you borrow one book every three weeks the total cost to buy those same books would be on average $175 ($10 a book every three weeks)
2. If you borrow two books or more every three weeks think about the cost then.
3. If you have children who love to read or be read to, there are books not available at Borders, Amazon, Barnes and Noble that are currently only available through the library. These books would be unavailable to your children.

Do you pay taxes in your paycheck to the state and city? If so over the course of the year with the proposed and existing cuts to libraries and the rec&park programs in LA county you will be paying the majority of it to cover salaries for politicians who are essentially removing your benefits.
