Think about how cool it is libraries exist:

  1. One of the few public places where you aren't expected or pressured into buying anything

  2. Usually calm & cozy as fuck

  3. Have changed with the times -- not just books but computers, borrowing movies, toys, e-books, magazines, some even video games, artwork, and plants.

  4. Everyone loves them. Even chuds, boomers, and suburbanites generally love the library. Good for kids, preteens, teens, adults, and seniors.

  5. Literally free

Imagine if libraries didn't already exist today, how angry Fox News pundits would be if someone tried to make one. Or think about how convoluted one of our feckless billionaires would try to invent one so of course it somehow can be profit-generating.

I just love libraries.

    I used to go all the time and really fell off of it the last uh, decade or so. Since we read a few bed time books to our kid each night we go once every week or two now to get a bunch of new bed time books.

    It's honestly great. Just a surprisingly good institution for a sick society like :amerikkka: to have.
