Basically most people do not read, and most people here have no social life.
Libraries are for reading and socialising, so many users here have a really really hard time to imagine that someone might have some benefit from them.
Yeah but even if I didn't read, I would want any kids I own/any kids someone else owns to be able to access books, and even middle grade hardcover chapter books can be $30. I can't imagine paying even $10 for every single big flippy book they give the toddlers, that's gotta be at least a hundred a week just for the luxury of reading to the child for bed.
