Killing libraries is not about saving money, it's about restricting knowledge. Beware the leader that doesn't want the people to read.

It's shocking to see the assault on libraries across Appalachia. Sad to see it's a broader problem. For as little finding as they require they provide critical services. So many nasty politicos trying to win some points with the lowest common denominators of humanity must see them as an easy target.
This is incredibly sad. Dammit.
As the cousin of a NY public librarian, fuck mayor Adams, but for so many more reasons than this.
Stop voting cops in as mayor's, because at the end of the day they're still just corrupt cops.
This what happens when you elect a cop.
I don't care if libraries get used or not, they NEED to be kept open. For the sake of information keeping and internet for those who don't have any at home
Can't they just sell one of those sound-weapon equipped tanks from the NYPD to cover the entire library budget?
