I remember the exact moment libraries turned to shit: it was when they all bought a bunch of PCs and let people access the internet there. From that moment on, public libraries have been well-staffed goon caves for the homeless.

I pity Zoomers and Milennials never getting to experience going to a nice library back in the day when you couldn't just google shit. I used to write a list of things I was curious about on a scrap of paper all week and then on Saturday, I'd get to go to the library and read about those things.

At least once a week someone tries watching porn on them in front of everyone :marseyxd: . And the staff are all non-confrontational foids so they scuttle around trying to make sure that's what he's -really- doing.
