The more I think about public libraries the more I’m surprised they still even exist as free services. Apart from literal outdoor spaces like parks and shit they’re one of the only free public recreation/education facilities left I can think of, at least where I live. Hell, even half the main roads are toll roads. “Public” pools cost money, public transport is expensive as fuck where I live and not getting cheaper. And yet the library persists. Long live the library.
