Public libraries are usually useless, except for those disposal sales.  
I will be spending some time in my university's library for some 
periodicals I know they haven't thrown out yet  -- I've already bought 
most of the useful books they used to have -- and journal internet 
access.   But most of the libraries I mean are the major research 
libraries like NYPL, LC, and research universities if they haven't been 
taken over by the jackals (like one that both of us know about.)  I also 
mean the libraries of certain collectors.
