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.

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

This what happens when you elect a cop.

Are people actually against libraries dying? What the hell is this deluded take?

Libraries provide a host of public services beyond "warehouse for books". A big part of our digital archives come from library digitization programs. And knowing how to sort, store, and distribute this information is a vital piece of library science.

Losing libraries means losing the tools we use to organize information on a national scale.

yes. Personally, i use libraries because I cannot afford buying a book (mostly programming) and I don't like split screen and can't afford another monitor. I have used the library here in Toronto so many times they know me by name now at two branches.
