Archivists. Nobody is talking about archivists. Many public libraries has physical archives that can't be digitized (clothes, memorabilia, etc) that needs to be preserved and taken care of. They serve to supplement and support museums and universities with these materials. Every anti-library piece that comes out generally boils down to "I don't use a library, and have little to no idea what services many of them provide outside of books. Therefor, someone who's better at books could take their place, and the free market is better than the state being in charge of this sort of stuff!" Not everything can, or should, be run like a business.
