Imagine going to a bookstore, buying a book, and then trying to read it at a coffee shop or at a park or at home and a corporation smacks the book out of your hand says "no you bought it in our store, you only read it in our store".

Yeah.

I haven't been to a library in a while but that's because I get so excited it feels like my heart is about to burst and then my eyes start leaking and whew

Why libraries are the greatest places on earth:

- books
- free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- quiet, so quiet, so peaceful is heaven
- people leave you alone
- also movies and computers and things
- staff literally know everything and want you to know everything thanks
- you can stay the whole time they're open and not have to pay anything at all
- you can get lost in the big ones and that's cool
- mmm smells of wisdom

@guerrillarain They are literally the only place you can go in this society in which you aren't expected to pay for something.
