Hardback. Condición: Fair. Not long ago, the public library was a place for the bookish, the eggheaded, and the studious--often seeking refuge from a loud, irrational, crude, outside world. Today, libraries have become free-for-all entertainment complexes filled with rowdy teens, deviants, drugs, and even sex toys. Lockdowns and chaperones are often necessary. What happened?

In fact, from the first page of this comic debut to the last, you'll learn everything about the world of the modern-day library that you never expected. …
