Are people actually against libraries dying? What the hell is this deluded take?
Libraries provide a host of public services beyond "warehouse for books". A big part of our digital archives come from library digitization programs. And knowing how to sort, store, and distribute this information is a vital piece of library science.
Losing libraries means losing the tools we use to organize information on a national scale.
yes. Personally, i use libraries because I cannot afford buying a book (mostly programming) and I don't like split screen and can't afford another monitor. I have used the library here in Toronto so many times they know me by name now at two branches.
