Every time I walk into a library, I’m reminded what public money is supposed to do.

A seat you don’t have to earn.

WiFi you don’t have to pay for.

Time no one asks you to justify.

Someone applying for jobs, someone studying for exams, and another just staying inside for a while and reading books.

No gate at the door.

If you want to see what it looks like when a system still works, it’s right there.
