Nuts.
Libraries carry all sorts of books. The classics of philosophy, literature, history, science. If you can’t find a particular book or author, the librarians will order it for you through their inter-library loan service.
It’s what they do.
Every library I know of sponsors a “Banned Books Week” as a warning against political correctness and totalitarianism. The Bible is invariably featured front and center, along with Brave New World, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Hucleberry Finn, etc.
Too many people now get their “educations” from whatever is “trending” on the internet. The internet is only a half notch away from television indoctrination. Sure, there is good information out there to be found, but without any basis or reference point, how would a person know to look up, say, John Locke or the Federalist Papers, or the Higgs boson?
Wandering through the shelves full of unfamiliar names and ideas in a library, though, incites a person’s curiosity. You can’t help wondering, “What’s this about?” as you pick up the book and give it a skim.
Advising people to avoid libraries? Shame on you.
