Often.  I seriously often say that the one greatest amenity
of life in North America is the tradition of local public
libraries here.  Typical libraries in other countries are
strikingly hostile *in comparison*.

But libraries are a blessing 'most anywhere you find them.
I've used libraries in every country where I've lived, and,
at their worst, they're still wonderful.

... if not for learning computing.  The two models of infor-
mation flow are just too different for old-style libraries.
