Interesting but stupid thought

I had this crazy thought. I seems we talk about how much technology costs us and libraries all the time but have we seen the prices on books and periodicals. And though safe with paperbacks in some areas it doesnt mean much. Its just one more thing that has changed our world. Can most kids go out and buy a book easily no. This makes the library even more needed. I know costs have to go up, but when its something you enjoy it makes a tug of war to decide what is best to do. Libraries money has dwindled while cost all over have grown and sometimes it seems like we must spend the money on technological things rather than the old library book. Costs are the giant tug of war. No easy solution.
