Books, tapes, guilt; library's got it

I love my library ("Long overdue," City Weekly, Feb. 4). The Minuteman Library Network is like having Amazon at your fingertips, but free!

I'll frequent any library if I'm in the area and need something, but my primary branches are Cambridge Main, and Cambridge Central Square. The buildings themselves are adequate. The main library is under renovation.

Using the network, I'd say I have a 98 percent success rate of getting what I want. And I use it for everything: movies, hobbies/interests, travel books, novels, language tapes, the occasional guilty pleasure of People magazine. . . . You can't beat it.
