libraries are such an important space

not only for free information, but especially for at risk populations and homeless populations

they offer free or very cheap internet access (which allows for finding resoucres, job applications, etc), free access to information, bathrooms, often places have refreshments for relatively cheap as well, etc. etc.

wanting to make public libraries obsolete is classist and just an incorrect viewpoint tbh

@gingerrroot I was homeless briefly at one stage, and I travel by often, and libraries have helped me out with net access, device re-charging *and* local information so many times. I love my !
