I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say an attack on libraries is an attack on democracy. I know that sounds really self-important and inflated. But look at who is attacking libraries, and their relationship to the future of democracy. Look at why they want to stop libraries: we make ideas available. We give people the means to educate themselves. We protect freedom of speech. There are groups that actively HATE that and work against it, because democracy hinges on the free exchange of ideas and guess what they don't want?
