They provide services to ALL people. So tired of reading that only the poor use the library. My kids are always begging to be taken there to get books and do activities. We just used the color printer/copier at ours the other day and the first 3 copies were free. Libraries are an amazing community resource for EVERYONE.

The three big branches around me have well stocked maker spaces. I see young classes in there all the time.

Some have seed selections for gardeners. Many assist with tax preparation. I've heard of a few who lend music equipment (think mixers, PAs, synths) for musicians who can't justify going all in getting their own gear.

Libraries are fucking rad.
