As a non-librarian person that's worked for 17 years as a dev at a library, I agree and also wish people knew we were a safe space and also have free internet and computers, DVDs and BluRays, video games, meeting rooms, a recording studio with mixing gear, free food pantries, a free phone, vending machines, public bathrooms, and a diverse staff. And that's just one little library.
