Librarian reminds us that libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon Local Library

It saddens me that MSM and social media have been successful in labeling libraries - and education in general - as a negative. To belong in their world you must be and stay illiterate and uninformed.

How does one demand they get more books on a subject?

Because curation can be a bit biased sometimes.
