Libraries are inherently not profitable and therefore any move toward privatization is a stupid one.

They want to gut a public service that tangibly improves people's lives to save 8 mill?? That's straight up bullshit, they want to pocket that money and profit from exploiting this community need.

Remember when the super-rich used to build libraries.

Edit: I don't, but I read it in a book once.

I mean they have privatized hospitals and prisons...well, can't argue with the results. Next, police and firefighters (like the good ol' days).
