You mean the ones being constantly defunded and having their reading materials banned?

I mean for research I'd prefer to use either a university or reference library. But even an underfunded library with banned books is a better resource than a largely unmonitored black box that confidently lies to you. At least when you look for a resource and it's not there you're certain in the lack of information.

If you know that information is missing, yes.

Communities still love libraries overall, too. I live in a deeply red state and other then a small group of idiots trying to ban random teen books, they are still good resources that are popular.

Fuckin come and take them and see what happens.
