With the way some people want to restrict and shutdown libraries these days, I'd say it's very arrr.
And it's just a smart use of resources too.
Libraries are entirely about the free sharing of information, and supporting everybody's ability to access it. 👍🏼👍🏼
I frickin LOVE libraries. I don’t know about US ones, or even other European ones, but the one in my city is pretty awesome.
Yeah! Libraries here in the US can be really great, too. There's an interlibrary loan program that allows people to request materials from any other library, and the information they carry isn't limited to books, reference information, and magazines--they do movies, music, and video games, too, and some of them around me have 3d printers available for people to use. I used to live in a rural state, and I still had access to a global network of libraries out there. It was wild!
