Libararians are often leftist censors. You won't find any books on the shelves that offend any politically correct fashions during the past 100 years.
Local churches could start a library and staff it with decent books and no-porn computers. Help with homework, give the gospel, de-program.
I found a few in my high school library that might defy that description. I’m nowhere near a senior citizen in chronological age. The school is in a liberal stronghold.
You certainly will in my library. Some of the leftist stuff is there, but there is a good selection of truth as well — enough so that one history teacher complained about all the conservative materials we have. :)
OTOH, I will have to change my ID from Library Lady at the end of this month. Retirement approaches.
Very true.
As for the dichotomy of libraries or computers, you are aware that for many rural communities the only computers with public access are the libraries?
When I saw how heavy libraries were pushing computers that’s when I first started to think that they could be done away with.
If all you are doing is teaching people how to use computers, then you aren’t much of a library anymore.
