    Taking libraries for granted will be a critical factor in the downfall of western civilization lol.

    We f***ing snapped with that s***. It's on y'all if you don't use them to your advantage.

    god damn i hurt a bunch of feelings. I do not believe yall are really going to the library like that.

    Between my wife and me, we are at the library 3-5 times a week. Dropping / picking up books we checked out and printing shipping labels for stuff my wife sells online (we have a printer at home but may as well take advantage of the $5 monthly credit we get).

    Like other people have said, there are so many niche services that it can help you with. For example, need a notary for some banking s*** I am doing. Guess what, my local library has the service, and it is free 🙏

    Honestly, even if we never used the services, I would support it because of how much value it offers to my community and surrounding ones.

    the internet and piracy made libraries obsolete tbh

    If you believe this you don’t know what libraries are actually for.

  • this is how I got into music 10 years ago going to the library every week and ripping hundreds of CDs

  • plants

    my local libraries got seed banks, 3d printers, tool rentals of all kinds, a discounted book store $1 paperbacks and $2 hardbacks, meeting and study rooms, a genealogy center, ESL groups, sunday movie viewings, book clubs, movie clubs, and more. plus libraries are still one of the last places you are allowed to exist inside of without paying money

    Amazing

  • Skinn Foley

    Nope

    Libraries will never be obsolete especially in a class-oriented society. It's literally one of the only things civilization has gotten right lol. Outside of that, public infrastructure, and due process everything else is a damn mess.

    Not everyone has quality Internet and access to digital resources to find books they want/need, so pirating books is impractical. Plus a socially-oriented mode of literary consumption is amazing.

    Everyone talking truth in here

    I always thought library cards cost money I thought it was like a membership thing

  • The last time I went into a library was when Hurricane Michael hit Broward and I had to go there to get some homework done because I had no power in my house.

  • Not even just for books, libraries be the greatest places to get s*** done when you can't get s*** done at the house.

    Many arrangements/compositions I wouldn't have finished if not for having a neutral/distraction free space a nigga can just sit to get s*** done.
