In today’s divisive climate, if there were no public libraries and you proposed the idea of using tax money to buy books to loan out for free, imagine the response from some cynics: “What? Free books? How would that work, STALIN?!”
Public libraries are just one common-sense notion that puts community before commerce.
It’s socialistic.
Of course, for people of certain ages or political preferences, “socialism” spark fear, confusion or regret at corrupted attempts. And small minds use the term against political foes, unfairly labeling them unpatriotic, authoritarian or worse. For what? Prioritizing everyday folks instead of campaign contributors and the rich?

You know who doesn t get impostor syndrome? Cats. Not only does every cat know they re a cat, I think every cat believes firmly, with conviction, that they are the best possible cat, the prime example of a cat, the most cat a cat could be.
