Gail Drakes: This is terribly close to where we are heading in NYC. The Mayor’s budget cuts have already led to closure on Sundays and now Saturday is on the chopping block. Meanwhile, it’s unlimited breadsticks for the police department. It is just breathtaking.

Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

Poor people also read. It is a harmful classist stereotype to think otherwise, and we should have moved past it by now.

this, exactly, what you said. My local library is now closed on weekends and closed at 5pm on weekdays because of this nonsense

It would make more sense to close it on a weekday and open it on the weekend. And having literally no times a person who works an in-person job can go to the library should be banned.
