I am not being sarcastic. It has been great in out city. For some reason everyone outside the city tries to jump through a lot of hoops on why not charging fines to citizens is a bad idea. You people are interested in availability issues I suggest you reach out to the library and ask if it has been a problem. The number 619-236-5800.
