Libraries are usually free to join? That's strange, all those I've seen require a membership payment. And they allow "large quantities" of books to be borrowed? Again, in my experience the number you can take out is limited. This example appears somewhat anchronistic to me. Arvindn 08:35, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- A library is usually free to "join", although if you live in the municipality providing the library you are sort of already joined by the fact that you are paying taxes to operate it. Large quantities maybe, but certainly not all at once though.
Seems to me the library analogy isn't the best, because you are still having to report to someone that you are taking them out. The honor system means that you could just take something without paying for it, but you don't, because you have a moral code and it would be unethical. –radiojon 08:56, 2004 Apr 19 (UTC)
