I hit thrift-stores and other second-hand places a lot more often than the libraries. Carrying off a gym bag filled to the brim with books for next to nothing in money is nice, but it's the unexpectedness that's the major appeal: Next to ten identical copies of some Keyes novel you'll find a collection of Russian poems from the '70's, or chance upon a technical introcution to leather-working buried beneath a bunch of The Phantom comics... My bookshelves grow strange and lovely. That said - here in Malmö I have access to a nice assortment of libraries should the need arise. I'm heading to the city library today to pick up a copy of Color and Light. Some libraries will order books that aren't stocked. Out current government's done a lot of haphazard cutting to expenditure in all things culture, but at least they've yet to implement the "library fee" they were serving up a couple of years back...
