Today's the books demande a huge fortune to buy books specially those about self development
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life." — Henry Ward Beecher
You're making my case for me. If books cost a fortune, that's exactly why libraries are MORE important now, not less. A kid in a poor neighborhood can walk into a library and access thousands of self-development books for free. No paywall, no fortune required. Your argument actually proves libraries are essential infrastructure, not relics. Digital access? Still requires devices, internet, subscriptions. Libraries level the playing field. The fact that knowledge is expensive is precisely why we need free public libraries. You've just handed me the strongest argument for why they matter in 2026. So why are you against them again?
