Okay, but you're just one data point. Don't make a bigger deal of it than it is.

Since the books are well-used, that pretty obviously shows that the library is popular and doing a good job at serving some customers.

"Push-pin versus poetry"

The concept of the utility of media is important.

If Family Guy was 24/7 every channel, approval ratings and viewership may still stay high.

Is that a proper way to measure utility, or value?
