Maine's State Library has put together the Library Use Value Calculator. You enter the number of books or movies you check out, or the number of hours you spend online, and so on, and the calculator tells you how much your visit would have cost you if you had to pay for it out of pocket. It makes you realize that "free" libraries are in fact very expensive. Your local, friendly indie bookstore is a real bargain by comparison.--David E
