   "Libraries literally aren't just a place to obtain books for free.  They're   
   one of   
   the few public spaces left in our society where you're allowed to exist without   
   the expectation of spending money."

   "America was the first socialist country.., public education, free libraries,   
   public policing and fire fighting and of subsidized railroad"   
      
   "Same for public waterworks, public roads, public parks, fire and police   
   departments."   
      
      
   "There was a time when rich people wanted to make the world better for   
   everyone.   
   Now they want to go to space watch people die."   
      
   "I'm so glad public libraries already exist.  Imagine trying to sell the idea   
   of   
   libraries to politicians in 2021: 'You want to build a large public complex on   
   prime real estate that gives away free books & education & community events -   
   paid   
   for by our tax dollars?  Are you crazy??'"
