Recently I checked to see if any of the books I suggested for purchase at my local library system had been. None were. (I am particularly dying to read THE TALENTED MISS HIGHSMITH (about a favorite writer of mine Patricia Highsmith) by Joan Schenkar. Ah well, there is near no money to buy any new books. If the library buys ONE copy of a book it will suffice and we can be put on an electronic waiting list for our turn to read it.
I WONDER IF THIS WILL FORCE READERS LIKE ME TO COME UP WITH FUNDS TO BUY MORE OF OUR OWN BOOKS or if DONATIONS to the LIBRARY of BOOKS will be taken more seriously and provide the library with books to be put on shelves and loaned out rather than books to be SOLD at library book sales?
