I never realized how really Marxist the library industry was until just a few years ago. I always pictured it as run by sweet little old ladies who held, if not conservative, then at least moderate views.
I finally put it together when word that library branches in my large city were hot hookup spots for fags. They didn’t have anything to fear from the complicit librarians.
Libraries in Los Angeles are mostly homeless shelters. They have access to rest rooms, running water (I've seen them wash their clothes in library sinks), a climate-controlled indoor setting, comfy chairs, and free internet.
