There are people who are angry at Little Free Libraries because they have somehow convinced themselves that they are a plot to drive regular public libraries out of business. Absolute madness.
- pasquinelli 8mo agothat's wild because public libraries aren't in business to begin with. they're a public good, they exist to give the public something, not to extract profit from them.
- foreigner 8mo agoPublic libraries are funded and supported by the public though. They need attention, and if you read the other comments on this post it's almost like most of these people don't even realise that public libraries exist.
- lazyasciiart 8mo agoBetter wording might be "to replace public libraries as a provider of free reading material in the public consciousness, leading to the reduction of funding and the loss of all the services a real public library provides, including a much wider and better source of books"
