    That’s a great perk that you can save by printing at the library. I don’t know that it’s feasible for most, or really anyone not on a school campus or living next door to a library. To the rest of us, I recommend a used laser printer for 50 dollars. There’s probably still enough toner in it to print 500-1000 more pages of text.

        Without outing your location, where generally do you reside? I ask as now I’m genuinely curious if a library is no further than a grocery store for most people. I can imagine that being the case in some metropolitan areas–but I wonder about the suburban, and especially rural areas, both of which hold a heck of a lot of people, if it’s true for them. Heck, there’s 4 grocery stores in a 4 mile radius around me but neither of the two closest libraries would fall in that radius.

          most people in developed countries live near a metropolitan center and very few live rurally.
