I miss libraries and have written about that quite a lot in the past. We don't have them here in Vietnam or if we do, I don't know where they are and if they do have them it would probably be mostly Vietnamese books, as one would expect.

I rarely visit the USA anymore but when I do I really enjoy going to the library with my computer because the quiet is just so wonderful. The fact that they get a copy of basically every single new book at my hometown local library is a great added bonus plus my parents live in a small town so the fact that I don't have a card never got in the way of me using any of their services. They just let me check the books out on my parents' cards because the people working there know them personally. Small towns can be really great sometimes.
