RE: Librairies pay for the itnm, they do not make duplicates, they loan it out one person at a time

Am I misunderstanding you here? You're saying people in urban areas treat books more poorly than non urban people. But do you mean urban as in "lives in a city", or are you using it euphemistically to mean black people( this is extremely common)?

Your juxtaposition with romance novels leads me to believe you actually are using "urban" to mean young and black.

Even if you really just mean people in cities vs suburbs or rural areas, do you seriously think that living in a city has some sort of influence on the way you treat books? It sounds absurd, just say it out loud.

My wife is a librarian in a nice northern suburb of Chicago. I'm sure she'd be happy to horrify you with stories of the way suburban people of all races treat books, media, and the library itself.

And what about me? I grew up in a town of five hundred people, but have lived in Chicago for the last ten years? Do I still take care of my books, or have I been urbanized?
