Who Needs Libraries When We Have Beer Bottle Labels, Tiger Tart Tweets and Bra Strap Tags?

The Cometeer, while recounting the curious course of certain library funding matters, is courteous enough not to mention that libraries are just not a major priority among people for whom reading focuses on beer labels, Rachel Uchitel tweets and bra strap tags.

Unless the List-Makers identify a library-related profit stream (an improving prospect in the wake of Barbara Mistick's departure), it seems unwise to expect substantial change.

The city could always just dedicate some revenue source the libraries and "save" them.
