Tweet by Molly White @molly0xFFF it's always fascinating to watch grown adults discover the concept of public libraries for the first time Quoted tweet by Ken Herman @kherman Ponderable? And do free people expect to read every book they want to read for free (at public expense)? After all, many people who write and produce the books do expect a return on their effort and investment.

Molly White @molly0xFFF congratulations! you have just invented libraries

every damn time
