No, we don’t have the 1971 Perfume Bottles Price Guide

So, this one is for all the peeps who don’t seem understand that public libraries are NON-PROFIT institutions and believe it or not, we’re not rolling in dough charging people 20 cents a day per late item.  I love it when assholes stroll into the building and bitch at me because the library doesn’t have some random book that went out of print in 1971.  Yeah, somehow they managed to find 7 cds and 10 dvds and they used our internet for an hour, but god forbid the library doesn’t own every book every published.  Isn’t that our purpose?  What ARE they paying taxes for?  Surely the 1.80 in property taxes that goes to the library out their pocket every year should be enough to cover each and every item they could desire?
