Fun Fact

The library for the detainees at GTMO holds over 12,000 titles. This means about 50 titles per detainee. In 2004, on average, private secondary schools in America had the most books compared to public schools - about 28 books per student. The average number of books and serial volumes in America’s public libraries in 2005 was 2.8 titles per capita. It looks like the literary resources at GTMO per capita not only exceed the American public library system, but our public and private school systems too.
