The library in this town closes at eight. Residents often work days and nights. How do they get to the library anyway? Who has a car? Who has gas money for the car? An ereader is a big expense. English is often limited.

saguarosally @JoRead Plus books don‘t solve everything. 😐 6y
Mandigolightly @saguarosally modern libraries are more than just books. 6y
Mandigolightly Most libraries combat this by being open a variety of hours. Our library has morning hours two weekdays a week, plus very early mornings on Saturday 6y
saguarosally @Mandigolightly Oh, I know. The lack of access to resources at libraries is also problematic. I know hours also often vary to accommodate people and libraries really try to serve the public. At some point, though, social inequities are such that access becomes difficult. 6y
