It'd be interesting to run a survey in the US, asking people who are in favour of public libraries in general: "If public libraries had never existed, would you support their creation today?" Like, not just "Do you support continued funding of public libraries", or even "Do you think public libraries could be introduced today", but an actual reality check of how much their actions align with their actual preferences. I wouldn't be surprised if people would actually admit to hypothetically opposing something they are in favour of in practice.
