More than just books, this is internet for people without home internet:
> “A lot of people come here for internet access, so it’s been quite a blow to the community,” a librarian at the Greenwood library said.
> Some individual library branches have put together lists of nearby places that could offer similar services. But they’re not great.
> The downtown library recommends a FedEx, a quarter mile away, but internet access costs 39 cents a minute. There is a public law library in the King County Courthouse, but computers there are intended for legal matters only. The nearest branches of the King County Library System are all about 40 minutes, by bus, from downtown.
What an enormously awful impact this weasel hacker / group has imposed upon innocent people. It's not bloviating to say this is what evil looks like: is causing suffering and further dividing a group of people from those that do have home PC/internet, for no good reason.
