library services

**G*@aol.com**

No one picked up the thread of using libraries, and I'm wondering why. Are 
library services so good, so poor, that no comment is necessary? So unknown 
or irrelevant? Do garden writers use libraries? Or know what they offer? What 
are your experiences?

I admit I hadn't used my public library until recently, when I was pleasantly 
surprised by the remote access to online databases. I used the library 
occasionally to borrow books in the past, and will need to do so more in the 
future since the gems in the Mass. Hort. Society's library were sold to the 
Chicago Botanic Garden, and I can't afford to buy every book that interests 
me, even from discount houses.
