tbh fuck anyone who says a single bad thing about libraries

Not content I normally reblog but libraries are super important and our world would be diminished without them.

The library was how I was able to read so many books as a kid that my parents wouldn’t have been able to afford.

To add to this: Libraries are significant repositories of information, they contain the social and cultural memory of many communities and are places used as such. Libraries are also places to learn and be able to critique society. Limiting access, severely regulating them and defunding them is a classist/fascist tactic. Just look to history to see what happens when that access is cut off from communities or even worse, destroyed. Keep libraries funded, open and easy to access! They are super important.
