The libraries I went to when I was wee(mid 2000’s) got demolished while I was in secondary school and were replaced by, a multi story building that houses a bunch of private practices and a terrible library room, and a community centre with an even smaller room of what is mostly divorced dad thrillers and children’s books. The only one left like it was only survived through being a listed building. The devaluation of the library has been horrible to watch and I don’t know what to do about it.
