Is it unlikely or do boomers just not get that libraries fucking rule? Where else am I going to have a goth hand me a book about woodworking, 5 novels, and my tax forms before telling me how to register to vote all for free?
Seriously, im currently listening to an audiobook for free, legally, with the author getting compensated. And all I have to do is wait for it and pay my fair share of taxes to ensure this resource continues to exist for everyone.
I don’t know about anyone else, but this boomer basically grew up in libraries. The local village’s library is one of the more popular places in town for pretty much everyone of all ages.
Hell yeah! Free books, magazines, games etc. to borrow. They offer free activities and programs for children and adults. It’s for everyone, regardless of your social status or income, what’s not to like?!
And it’s a place you can just exist. And access a computer. It’s a great resource when you’re unable to go home
The librarian won’t let her hair down no matter how many times I ask. I just want to see what happens :(
How is it unlikely? Libraries are the shit and we were taught how to use them in public school. We also have a significantly lower stigma about using public services unlike the shit ass generations before us
I totally agree. And for two generations screwed out of so much else, it’s the only place any of us can get stuff for free.
It’s one of the few public community gathering places that exist for those generations. Older generations had their churches. Most younger people are non religious, so if someone wants to go somewhere and not have to spend money, a library is the only place I can think of that it is socially acceptable to loiter and do whatever you please (as long as it’s quite).
