    all of those things cost money. if you have kids and are on a budget, libraries are especially amazing.

    the wealthy also tend to like them (at least the bougie versions in their neighborhoods), so it’s typically supported across class lines.

    because they’re also used by PMC lib shits, libraries are often some of the only funded public services left in cities besides the pigs.

    they’re popular enough I can just call myself a library socialist and people get it.

    If libraries had a dick, I would :pingu-horny: it.
