        We are out here just trying to survive, we are out here trying to provide what services we can to the people who need them and you want to take that little bit of public space left and give it to motherfucking amazon so you can save three bucks a month?

        Fuck you, fuck your libertarian bullshit ideals, fuck Amazon and their fucking indentured servitude labor practices, and fuck anyone who wants to take away the last remaining vestiges of community space. Fuck you.

        Every time one of you asshole elitist snobby motherfuckers thinks a good way to save two bucks a month and stick it to poor people is to close libraries, I will be here to tell you to go fuck yourselves.

        And please consider this a giant fuck you from the library community at large, most of whom cannot tweet like this for risk of their jobs, whereas you can tweet that you’d like them all unemployed and you’ll probably get a raise. So on behalf of librarians everywhere, fuck you.

        While I have you here and you are passionately mad about the defense of libraries, please consider donating to the @ALALibrary’s Spectrum scholarship fund promoting diversity in librarianship. http://www.ala.org/advocacy/spectrum …

        I already check out books from my local library to my Kindle, so unclear how Amazon would do better...

        Well, people who don't read books wouldn't have to pay 5 dollar in taxes a year to keep the libraries open 😐
