tbh fuck anyone who says a single bad thing about libraries
Not content I normally reblog but libraries are super important and our world would be diminished without them.
The library was how I was able to read so many books as a kid that my parents wouldn’t have been able to afford.
Libraries are one of the only places on Earth that treats people the same no matter how much money you have. We can’t lose that.
Are you saying we have a stockpile of knowledge that’s also a place of communion and people can borrow stuff which is always a more sustainable option than more things? And we don’t have more of them? Well that’s stupid. Which is why we need libraries.
Libraries are a necessary for a free and fair society.
As the child of a librarian, I fully support them and expect & demand that they continue to be publicly funded.
If you don’t agree? I don’t care.
I haunted our small-town library and was using the entire library at 12. I loved prowling the shelves and taking 2-3 at a time. The memories are so warm.
Libraries deserve more funding than the military They do more GOOD !
