    normally when everyone is tweeting angrily about the same dumb article, I get burned out on it within a few hours but I hope we spend the whole next week collectively talking about how great libraries are and how shitty the anti-library article is

        People who hate libraries are in the same category as people who kick puppies. Just - no. Fair if you don't like either puppies or libraries, but don't ruin it for the majority of us who benefit and appreciate both.

        Democracy needs free speech, free press, quality public education, and public libraries.

        I hope all these people defending libraries who haven't stepped foot in one in years, find a renewed appreciation for them and get to their local library ASAP.

        I have just as much respect for people who recognize the value of a public good they don’t use as those who use it. We can always use allies who can see beyond the borders of their own world.
