Fuck the library board member who got this pushed through. That town wouldn’t have a library if the people there didn’t want a library. But I’m guessing the sort of people who actually patronize the library- to get books, to take their kids to story time, to use the internet, to use meeting rooms- and those are just basic library functions- want a library. My wife’s library has 3D printers. Free to use for anyone who takes a quick class on 3D design. They’re building a new branch which will have a room with a lockable door and a sign-up sheet, one person at a time, with a shower and a washer/dryer.
Libraries are fucking incredible. But the people who patronize them the most are the poor. And I’m guessing the right-wing assholes on the Sterling Free Public Library board don’t give a shit about the poor in Sterling.
I hope they win big so they can retire early. Fuck that town

Or anywhere else, unless they are filling their prisons or military.
