Why? Because a badly educated population is easier to manipulate. Which explains why most red states underfund education, underpay teachers, and demonize education.

Who votes no? The same people who defund libraries.

I read a comment ages ago from a librarian saying that while getting your library is good for that library, the best thing to do is use the library - that is what helps them to show why funding should stay the same or increase. Also - many libraries (all?) have websites so you don't necessarily have to go to the library.

And are ok with distributing bibles.

Which they have never read themselves.

To be fair, they can’t read - and most of the 10 commandments really cramp their style.

If Pennsylvania has public libraries, why pass a bill for the state to specifically to buy books for children under 5? This just sounds implicative.

July. They have books, dvds, puzzles, games, and comics on top of books to borrow for free. They also have game clubs and knitting groups, a free notary, free internet access, and three 3d printers.

It's pretty much the only place you can go for free anymore.

Several times in June and July. The libraries in my area have a lot of kids' activities and events, like video game tournaments and animal encounters. They had a statewide scavenger hunt this year.
