what if public libraries were open late every night so that:
- children and teens who cant get home until a later time have a safe, warm, well lit, populated area to socialize, charge devices, rest, etc
- children and teens have a safe place to go to stay away from danger
- people who have jobs that take up most of the day would still have time ANY DAY OF THE WEEK to go use the libraries facilities (printing, computers, etc)
This is exactly what public libraries are trying to achieve - public libraries as a third place is a whole thing - itâs just that the funding isnât there (yet).
Libraries need and deserve so much funding
Iâm going to apologize if this post comes off as sounding very aggressive, but having just been through one of the most stressful experiences of my entire career in libraries:Â
if you want this, you need to be at your local community government meetings. you need to be talking to your representatives. you need to be out there Lobbying.
Just a few weeks ago, my library, me, my coworkers, we had to write letters, send emails, make phone calls, speak at council meetings, just to beg our aldermen to give us our usual funding. Which they didnât even give to us last year. Losing last yearâs funding forced us to cut staff, hours, and all of our databases. If weâd lost this yearâs funding? two positions would have been gone and we would have likely had to close on Saturdays. On Saturdays. The day of the week most of yâall working M-F jobs actually have time to go to the fucking library.
And do you want to know how much money we were asking? We were asking for an increase of approximately 13 cents a person.
13.
Fucking.
Cents.
ACROSS AN ENTIRE YEAR.
No one seems to understand how libraries are funded. Itâs not just Free Stuff. Itâs your tax dollars being paid back into your community. Itâs crowdfunding. The highest cost anyone in my community pays for the library a year is approximately $250. Divide that up. Thatâs just $4 a week. Thatâs less than a coffee. Itâs the equivalent of purchasing about 10 hardcover books a year. For that price, you could have access to every book that has ever been written, a place to go thatâs not a bar, programs for kids, teens, and adults, educated staff that can help you find the answers to your questions, and so much more.
You want these late-night libraries? You want all this stuff? Start fighting for it. Start showing up. Start making phone calls. Itâs not going to come out of thin air. Start fighting to erase the idea that taxes = evil. Start fighting to spread the understanding that taxes are what help us build a better society.
Make sure the people who represent you know that you want this. That this is where you want your tax dollars to go. That this is what you want them to support. That you are willing to see your tax bill go up a few more dollars for this.
Because otherwise? None of this is going to happen. Libraries are going to keep cutting their opening hours. Keep cutting staff. Keep cutting programs and databases and collections.
We NEED your support, and we need more than just a post on Tumblr. We need to see people show up and speak out.Â
Public libraries need your support for all of that and also because when we (librarians) lobby for ourselves, the usual reaction is âoh youâre only here because itâs your job on the line and itâs a cost center that weâre cutting from the budgetâ like our livelihoods arenât important enough as-is. But if the community (read: taxpayers) starts talking about it, suddenly itâs worth listening to.

 I survived hell and now I canât survive outside of it.
i forgot how fucking weird november is theres no afternoon its just night after 2pm
This isnât just true when âI canât afford Xâ was the literal reason for suicide. Itâs also true when âI canât deal with these shitty jobsâ, âI canât get the medical treatment I need to not be in pain all the timeâ, âI canât deal with the constant stress of precarious housing anymoreâ etc. Capitalism kills and no amount of mental health awareness alone can fix that.
