It’s the fact that there are a much smaller number of books available on most topics because the country is so small.

Libraries with access to the enormous amount of English language content are usually only found in English speaking countries, though.

Good luck finding more than a few books on niche topics in, say, Dutch (ask me how I know).

I deeply regret not hanging onto my US library card.

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.

That’s not true; I also speak Dutch!

Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? … That’s what I thought.
