I never heard of privatizing a public library. They can not possibly be money makers. Rather, they provide many very important services to the community. This is the public library where I now reside and it is one of he prime attractions for me here, (along with a $15/mo 24/7 gym). I visit this library several days each week, use one of its computers when mine breaks down and donate books that I purchase and do not want to keep. The people in this community strongly support their library system.
