Local government libraries are a hub for migrant/non-Anglo families. It could be that the last two libraries I visited were culturally diverse areas, but I suspect the appeal of the library stems from:
- free access to a variety of materials: books, magazines, CDs, DVDs etc.
- access to a clean, free, comfortable and sometimes quiet environment, which is good for studying (crucial in Asian culture) and good for reading free newspapers (enjoyable for senior citizens, as well as saving precious pennies)
- books are for nerds and most migrant parents want their kids to be the biggest nerd in town.
