This is a leftist movement to take specific action to save libraries in the United States. Please, libraries are so helpful not just to your average book-enjoyer, but they're amazing resources for houseless & low socio-economic people. They run activities for kids and young teens, some even have a zine library, which is such a useful tool for leftists. I love my local libraries so much, please do what you can.

Alt text wasn't showing up for me, just in case... Image shows popular kid's cartoon and book series main character, Arthur. His picture is on his library card with a caption that says "having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card"

I'm all for saving libraries,but can they also force them to update their inventory/give enough money for them to update? The two nearest me(15-20 miles) are either the same books since the 1980s(in my county)with a barebones movie selection,or mostly christian fiction/romance(the one we had to pay for our cards),but something resembling an actual selection. There is plenty of information to be had at either,sure,but nothing much I want to read. Plus it sucks having to drive 20+ minutes just to check out something.
