When my hometown library first got manga, they had 3. Not three series. Just three books. It was a dark time.

That's so lucky I never have enough books. I can't afford to buy books. I do have a Kindle but there's just no replacing physical books; the experience can't match up with reading a physical book.

Nice ^_^ I hope to be able to do that someday. There's only one second hand bookstore I know of. All the readers of English books here are educated middle class and elite peeps from the metros so I guess the market is mostly chain bookstores and hasn't expanded much.

My library's got a half decent manga selection, at least, but none of the series they have are current, or even complete. Like, they'll have a bunch of stuff in the middle, but none of the first volumes, and they haven't gotten new additions since I was in high school. I'm not complaining of the fact that a lot of it is Bleach and Inu-Yasha and Fullmetal Alchemist--I love those. But they've only god half the series. And they don't just do that with manga, either. It's annoying.

Or you'd get those awakrd low quality western 'mangas' with the cringy basic drawing style and the obligatory title with 'kawaii' or 'hime' in because theyre the only japanese words the author knows :D

So I just finished the first volume of The Wicked + The Divine and I'm a little disappointed that the library has no other volumes .

Taiyo I don't know what that is.

Ugh guys. I have to stop reading Words of Radiance for a couple days because I have another book...which isn't a bad thing, but I'm just really really into Words of Radiance. But I got this other book from the library at the same time, and its about Patty Hearst who I've always been interested in so I want to read it. And I was able to recheck Words, but not the Patty Hearst book because someone else has a hold on it.
And I feel really bad for the person who has a hold on it, because it was due today and I can't take it back until at least next Thursday. I don't have a car, don't have the cash for the bus, don't own a bike, and the library is too far to walk to. The fines won't be that bad, but I feel bad because I checked this out for fun. And I'm a little panicky because what if the person who has it on hold needs it for a school paper or something important?

There's nothing you can do its as simple as, that's the reality of public libraries you can't always get stuff as and when you want it. I do think as a library patron you have the responsibility to bring books back on time. But life gets in the way that's an unavoidable reality so handing back a book late in the 21st century really is fine!
