Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Well, where would you download them? Or if you're talking about printed books: where would you order them? See?
Never before has anyone accomplished to make me want to throw a whole library in its entirety at them, including the building. Good job.
My town library was ridiculously small. Not everyone has the same opportunities.
But we do used books anyway, they were usually the encyclopedia, the dictionary, and text books.
This tip probably isn't useful to you today, but in many library systems you can request a book at your local library and they will deliver it to you from some other branch that has a copy of it
I think my small public library was donation-based. Very few interesting books there, and no way to browse for and request specific books. Maybe university libraries did that.
