Thank you for that link; it's clarifying. I think we're actually in agreement that the "library" part of a library is obsolete; it's just (as I understand) you and the sibling comments are using a neologistic definition of "library" that's unrelated to mine. Your link explains it as a place for social workers to care for clients. I'm fine with closing libraries and replacing them with that stuff—I'm not going to quibble on language, but that is not a library. I should have considered this alternative definition before I wrote my comment, and how I phrased it. I see now exactly how it's been misinterpreted, and that people think I'm attacking unhoused people or something.
