Library hasn't even been open for 30 minutes and I've already seen 3 women with babies in strollers, another woman with a toddler, there's a free tax workshop in the basement which appears to be at capacity just about and I didn't even go upstairs.
I mostly frequent libraries for the toilets and WiFi and a quiet place to sit and focus, but these community resources are used heavily and I don't think they get nearly enough funding and resources.
They're basically proxies for human decency in societies which largely turn a blind eye to the impoverished.
