I had forgotten about the people who complain about homeless people (which as an aside I would argue is more of an issue with society than with libraries themselves), but I haven't seen too much of the "we have the internet and they should be shut down" arguments. It seems that those opposed to libraries on this site have likely forgotten the Hacker part of Hacker News. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_ethic#The_hacker_ethics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_ethic#The_hacker_ethics
