The information is free? Hardly. It takes a chunk of change from the ever-shrinking tax funding to build new or maintain existing buildings to house technology let alone maintain and upgrade the same. Don't forget hardware and software, train personnel (paid a living wage) to monitor the same and to educate the library user (most people using the library are not tech-heads in even the most basic sense) about the tools available to them. Our library board, and the taxpayers, would love it if it were free!
