@brandonllocke @mitch @molly0xfff I live in southern France, in a town of 9000 people. The library is extremely important to the place, it is where job seekers go to look for postings on the internet, where kids hang out after school, and where a free access to education and culture is available for everyone. You can read and borrow books, music, movies, you can play video games, you can use the internet, you can even borrow musical instruments. The library here is part of a network of around 20 other libraries, books and other lendables being available from any one of them into any other.
Anyone can go there watch small conferences about anything from the excavations of Egyptian pharaoh to the influence of video-games on modern storytelling. And it is amazing
