I used to live in a neighborhood and if I recall they were given a choice between expanding the pool and the park OR building a public library for the community. They voted for the library and it was 5-minute walk from a house. Yes! There were books, magazinse, computers, videos and music, a children's space, quiet study rooms, etc. And the librarians were awesome! KUDOS to the ones who had the wisdom to vote for the library.
