Still reading real, physical books like me? I know Amazon can deliver books right to your doorstep, and sure, it's a super cheap way to get your hands on new books, but wouldn't it be cool to get new books for free? Sounds crazy, right? Remember those places that are free to join, free to visit, and let you borrow books for free? Libraries are all around us, but they might not be for much longer. Most offer internet access, music, movies, and a comfy, quiet hangout so you can curl up and get acquainted with a good read. Toronto public libraries are under attack as a means to save money. Don't let this happen! Book lovers who can't afford to buy books, students studying, kids who are learning to read, clubs who meet to discuss their passion, tutors who lend a helping hand to those in need, a completely free way to spend an afternoon, shelves upon shelves of wondrous books GONE. This is cultural suicide. Don't let this happen to our city. Support libraries. Visit them. Borrow books. Volunteer. Attend an event. Voice your opinion. Sign a petition. Tweet about it. Blog about it. Email Mayor Rob Ford mayor_ford@toronto.ca. Call him
416-397-FORD (3673). Keep reading. I hate to think of a Toronto without free access to books for everyone...
