289. A library is free
if someone else is paying for it. And that's part of what this article is about.

Once upon a time, libraries were sacred cows, you really couldn't threaten them with budget cuts, but in the 21st Century, you can expect them to be on the chopping block every time it comes time to tighten the fiscal belt.

At some point, somebody is just going to chop, and the voices in against that chopping are just not going to be strong enough.
