I borrowed the first SCALPED from NYPL, but last I looked they'd skipped vol. 2, but did have vol. 3. Kat, I regularly donate comics to my local library here in Jersey (yet borrow in New York; ironic, I suppose) also. Very cool to hear that people are using the public option!

I'm trying to now add my younger son's high school library to my list. For more than a quarter century, I was the crazy librarian adding comics to the library where I worked.

I don't know how many times I've read something from the library that I was glad to have read and even more glad that I didn't buy. Then again, there were also things that I read from the library and knew that I wanted to go buy it now. I get comics from the library all the time.

Especially at the end of the year, when the "Best of" lists come out, I will grab anything I haven't read yet. I certainly can't own everything I read. My only issue - the New York Public Library has volumes 1-5 of Y, then nothing until volume 9. Frustrating! I use the library quite a bit.
