Do you realize there are books you can now only buy (mostly through Amazon) and no longer exist in libraries? Libraries are curated for content and space. That means not everything is available. Support your libraries. Especially the small ones.

@SergKoren Working in a bookstore was a fascinating lesson in this.

At its best the curation brings a community together with the sorts of books they want as well as those they have no idea exist but will be enriched by.

The limits of space make it impossible to have everything but the people doing the curation can do a lot with that limitation.
