This whole thread is pretty privileged, well off. Perhaps even 'elites'. Why do we need libraries? Just go online. Just use such and such open source app. Just use such and such free online source. -> There are too many homeless. Libraries don't 'feel' safe. If you are homeless how do you go on-line???? Let me clue you in. There are homeless people in libraries -> IN ORDER TO GO ONLINE. If you are homeless you don't have a computer. -> In todays world how do you get a job, to be come, 'un-homeless', without going ONLINE. -> How do you access any services without going ONLINE. You are homeless, you aren't driving to wherever you need to get to since you can't go to their website. Many physical locations have closed, 'just use their web-site'. How? -> SO, LIBRARIES HAVE A LOT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE USING LIBRARY COMPUTER'S, BECAUSE, WAIT FOR IT, 'THEY ARE HOMELESS'. THIS IS LITERALY THE ONLY OPTION FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
