   @artcollisions Especially where they're on the front lines of North America's problems and being under attack from all fronts (governments, politicians, publishers, copyright cartel, etc) plus being de-facto social workers and homeless shelters to boot. https://www.axios.com/2024/02/18/libraries-ebooks-hoopla-libby-book-ban-censorship

     Y'all realize that libraries, which we venerate (on the whole) are a GOVERNMENT SERVICE.

     We need to venerate all government services.

     Just putting this out there. We need to stop talking about how libraries are free. They are not free. I am happy to pay for their services with my tax dollars and I'd be happy to pay for other things like health care etc with my tax dollars so these services are available to EVERYONE.
