Free to read all you want in-house, but if you want to take some home, you gotta pony up for that card.
Fortunately the card was usually cheap.
I’ve never heard of a library card costing anything. But I guess I’m not really surprised if that happens somewhere.
It’s always America… :)
I’ve also never paid for a library card and I live in the US, so it’s clearly not always America. In fact most commenters here are noting they are paying small fees in euros so it seems this trend is common in Europe more so.
You paid for them without even knowing it. You were forced to do it. I don’t like that
Do you like streets you don’t use to exist?
A significantly larger chunk of my taxes are being used to subsidize military killing machines for wars outside my country. I got complaints, but a library ain’t one.
