Only issue is that my libraries close 5pm on weekends and 7pm on weekdays. Nothing for night owls.

- johnnyanmac 8mo agoYeah, I was spoiled by my college town. Libraries open until 2AM, a 24 hour space for students. Even a few cafes downtown open 24 hours a day. Suburb life is mostly fine, but that's one thing I miss most. Gotta travel 20 miles to downtown for anything resembling night life.
- asdff 8mo agoLibraries aren't paid for that demand though
- itishappy 8mo agoThey could be! Here's a line from my local library's site: > Our auditoriums are provided as a public service for use by individuals, institutions, groups, organizations, and corporations for a small fee, when not being used for library-affiliated or sponsored activities.
