You know, mabes we socialist types should proactively do something to help our local libraries before capitalists find ways of shutting them down for good. Some kind of mass fundraiser or something, I donât know what. But they seem like the last holdout for people who believe that everyone has a right to resources, no questions asked.
For many people, the library is the one place they can access the internet, which may in turn be the only way they can apply for jobs or get schoolwork done.
Other technology is also available for use at a library, such as a copier or a printer (ours even has a 3D printer open to the public).
The library is a safe place to go if itâs raining or really cold outside.
Children are enabled to read more books than their allowance could ever possibly afford, and for kids from lower-income backgrounds, it might be their only access to books at all.
Lots of libraries provide classes that are needed in their community, whether itâs ESL or literacy or parenting or what have you. Free of charge.
You can even borrow movies or seasons of TV shows instead of springing for Netflix.
And there is no shame whatsoever in visiting one. There is no social stigma attached to the library, itâs for everyone, period.
Any librarians with ideas for how we could help keep them going?
