As budgets tighten, people are breaking out their library cards - NPR

Link to a post about the increased use of libraries in the US as inflation increases in the US.
I didn't know they had all those things at the library.
Panzer found a post on the NPR site about libraries and their users.
  
According to the post, as inflation hits people's wallets in the U.S. library use goes up. Rather than buy books readers are borrowing them to save money. 
 
Panzer says, "There are a lot more things at libraries than books."

A Panzerism

Panzer on Mondays:
 
A cat joke
Cats don't have "Best By" datea.
This morning I heard What's His Name tell Mom getting out of bed and going to work on Mondays is a lot harder than it used to be.
 
If he would have said that to me ...
 
I would have told him ...
 
Once you're past your "Best By" date everything gets harder to do.
