"The reality is that they are government institutions, and this makes being inside them bad in the DMV kind of way." This doesn't really make any sense. I've never had an issue with being in a library because it's "a government institution". You can ask the librarians to get books for you. Libraries provide more services than just loaning books, and they're particularly useful for people who don't have the money to spend on a coffee, or who don't own computers... Obviously they aren't as useful for engineers who have money.
