If Wishes Were Fishes
Aug. 19th, 2013 12:40 pmRandom thought of the day for today -
I want to be a millionaire library superhero. I want to be stupendously wealthy so I can make an enormous lending library, and network it into all of the current library networks, so that never again would anyone have to say, 'Gosh, I really want to read X book, but I'm broke, and none of the libraries around here have it in their system!'
I'm sure there would need to be some finagling, at least for the ebook component, to figure out digital rights so that authors don't get hosed. But if I were a millionaire, I could hire someone to make sure that happened.
Libraries are already amazing. But with a superhero millionaire patron, they could be even more so....
