Comic Book Library

It's always surprised me that while we spend billions on traditional libraries (and traditional librarians), that we are missing the boat on many people who could use the benefits of a library.

I am talking, of course, about comic book readers.

While many of them never actually read a comic book and leave them in hermetically-sealed comic book collectable wrappers, other users read. They read them obsessively.

It's one thing to buy a current one, but as for old ones, who has the money to buy a collectable one just to read?

I propose a private comic book library. You join by either donating your collection that isn't in collectable condition or by paying a yearly fee. In exchange, you get your comic library card and the right to check out as many old ones as your heart (and your eyes) desire. No fuss, no panics over a twisted corner, and years of literary fun for the comic book crowd.

While I am not a comic book reader, I think this is an idea whose time has come (more so than rhytmic gymnastics in the olympics!)

edit: After thinking it over, you need to donate some collectible ones as well. That way, they can be sold periodically to pay for rent, utilities, librarian salary, etc.
