PSA: Libraries
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Now hear me out before I get stabbed. Libraries shouldn't have to provide this service. In fact I wish more libraries were specialized in locking down their systems to be only used for knowledge gathering. Think a terminal that an only access reliable web sources for information.
We need a separate public space for free Internet access. Most libraries see funding hits because they are used as resources for the less fortunate to get back on their feet.
Large metro libraries right now sort of act as a "get a job center" which the unfortunate fact is drives off anyone else who wants to use the library for it's actual resources. And also puts other costs on the library.
