Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?

  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.

    Understandable, just another reason to learn the country’s language then.

      He just said there weren’t any in Dutch on his niche topic. Your suggestion to learn more Dutch doesn’t make sense.

      I speak the language fluently; that’s not the problem.

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