Yes, people can go to the library for free, but many people go to the library in addition to buying books at stores or online already. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. This store seems like a great hybrid of the library and book store experience.

I know I could walk down the street and get a book for free, but I usually prefer to get my books at my local used book store. I like the way the store is laid out, and I can always find a few books that appeal to me in their displays. I like that the store is small and manageable. It’s cozy.

I have a harder time finding what I like at the library, as I never really have an idea of what kind of book I want to read. The displays at the main library rarely contain books that call to me. It’s good if I do know exactly what kind of book I want, but for browsing I prefer a smaller, edited selection.

I can see why someone would be willing to pay for a lending library that is esthetically pleasing and has a good selection of books. Sometimes less is more.

Why not donate that money to the local FREE public libraries that actually are accessible to everyone, including the homeless, children, etc. Ever been to the Main Library – filled with people from all walks of life. I doubt this place will have wonderful and informative librarians, either. ugh.

They keep the smelly people out of those, too.

I certainly do not begrudge Viracocha’s lending library. I’m not upset about it or anything, I just, personally, don’t really see the point.
