The library as a third place has nothing to do with enshitification. It's simply libraries meeting the needs of their users. I dont know the US numbers but many places the loan numbers of books has never been higher, while there has never been more culture and activities in the physical library. This fantasy of the library as a silent crypt for book storage is trite and tired, most often touted by non-users.
