That’s nice, but do people still read physical books?
IMO the best community library one can have is the internet, and sites like Anna’s Archive allow for access to pretty much every book in existence from the comfort of your own bed.
People hate me when I say this, but in my opinion physical books are a novelty of the past, sure it’s useful in an apocalypse for preservation and whatnot, but physical books are just limited and unpractical.

libraries also have dvds you can rent which are awesome. they also partner with libby/cw mars for ebooks
That must be why physical bookstores are seeing huge resurgence in sales I guess.
I like my kindle as much as the next person, as well as self host a book repo, but physical books are absolutely not a novelty of the past.
