I dont disagree, public libraries are a building block of education, imagination, and creativity for kids while also being a source enjoyment for adults. Simultaneously i think other things might need to come first like paying teachers more and infrastructure (e.g. newark’s water pipe system). Really wish more people with higher income would donate to public schools/libraries more than they already do but everyone already pays taxes so thats an excuse not to i guess. But im with you, hopefully one day!
