Right?? At my library, Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest days. It’s almost like people go to the library on days they don’t have work or school haha
In my NYS county, our local library is funded by our property taxes. Also the county library system gets funds from not only our taxes but also the state income taxes. The city library system (NYC) also gets funds from our income, sales, regular transport fees and regular sales taxes. My complaint is the requirement to recertify for library borrowing privileges. I pay a lot. I expect the services from the state that I pay for. I have lived in shitty low tax states so I know how much they suck in comparison.
