Talk:Book desert

Processes and causes in areas becoming book deserts
It is fascinating to think about how book deserts are formed. Some areas never had many books available. Other areas have lost sources of books. For these examples, are there published studies that examine these matters? When the population falls, this will have a direct effect. When the financial resources in a community fall, it is not a surprise that access to books is also reduced. What has been the effect of online book sales? I suspect that books for early readers need more local access, not just Amazon. Does anybody know of studies that examine these issues? Pete unseth (talk) 18:05, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Two separate sections discuss the map
Currently, there are two separate sections of the article that discuss the making and the implications of a map showing book ownership. Neither section is great. I hope some editor combines the two sections well. Pete unseth (talk) 23:07, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
