Reply to comment by Moose2157 in Mad about book bans in school libraries? Philadelphia has a solution - no libraries at all! Only 7/217 schools have libraries for their kids. by youngbuck215

Ease of access. Lots of kids and their parents wouldn't think of going to a public library. If it's in school you would be more readily exposed to it.

In a city as poor as Philly, it makes sense we can’t duplicate resources. We’re already funding public libraries, so it’s not as if kids don’t have access to free books. It would be nice to have them in schools, too, but it seems that money could be better spent.

My mind isn’t made up here.
