I was actually looking for updates on the performance of Danish athletes in the Olympics when I found this article from the Copenhagen Post (which will become fee-based when it enters the archives) about the cost of building a new main public library in Copenhagen. It would be around 930 million Danish kroner. The consensus seemed to be that it was too expensive, but it was this comment that caught my eye, "The main library’s current location in the inner city is perfect, and I’d rather we used the money on something else, such as an athletic centre." That quote from Social Democrat Morten Westergaard. If we pit libraries against sports, guess which one wins?
