I just read this statistic
Only 3% of Americans have a library card
from Jim Rohn
<<BOOKS/LIBRARY/READING by Jim Rohn
Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book. Some people claim that it is okay to read trashy novels because sometimes you can find something valuable in them. You can also find a crust of bread in a garbage can, if you search long enough, but there is a better way. Most homes valued at over $250,000 have a library. That should tell us something. Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written. And guess what? It's all available. All you have to do is go to the library. But would you believe that only three percent of the people in America have a library card. Wow, they must be expensive! No, they're free. And there's probably a library in every neighborhood. Only three percent! Some people read so little they have rickets of the mind. I now have one of the better libraries. I admit that I haven't read everything in my library, but I feel smarter just walking into it. Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it. The book you don't read won't help. Books are easy to find and easy to buy. A paperback these days only costs six or seven dollars. You can borrow that from your kids! It isn't what the book costs; it's what it will cost if you don't read it. >>
