i don't think people realize just how important libraries of all sorts are to "book culture", i think they're so normalized in our lives we just take it for granted that some kids grow up with a love of reading and become readers and book lovers and writers... if libraries die off or are killed off enough that they're a shell of themselves, the book industry is not gonna be swimming in cash like they think, in a generation or two, they'll find that the culture of book reading will have massively died, people will still read but they won't have this "love of books", they'll be like "I can get free fic on AO3, why do i care to buy an expensive book from an author i don't know?"
