Since some time ago, the "public" libary has started charging exhorbitant membership fees to anyone who lived outside of Orangeville (but had nowhere else to go because this is the sticks) so the town could pay for some idiotic cosmetic fountain garden thing in the middle of Broadway which they aren't finishing, which will lower the safety of that street (sitting on a bench in a garden in the middle of Broadway...), make it harder for fire engines to stretch out and saturate the very old (probably with dangerous electrical wiring) buildings there, and leech the town's utilities to keep the fountain running and the gardens watered; and a brand new arena with pools, rinks, another branch of the library, and conference rooms; and Orangeville's housing costs are the highest or so in the country despite it being a Town of under 30 000 since they last counted; and this fee was put into place because the townships wouldn't pay Orangeville's new higher costs to let rural citizens use their library just so Orangeville could try to pay for a bunch of things it doesn't need yet and can't afford (it is supposed to be impossible for municipalities in Ontario to go into debt, but Orangeville did anyways); the fee is $150 a year, no exemption or discount for students.
  I'm sorry, folks, for giving you all yet another reason to lower your faith in humanity.
