“little free libraries” are a pernicious, individualist perversion of Public Libraries. They should all be vandalized for daring to associate themselves with such a venerable institution.
Who erects these things? People who own freestanding/duplex homes on leafy residential urban streets. Who wish to make a permanent display out of how nice they are. Yet in a way that centers themselves with no accountability in sight.
This lady sounds fucked. However as far as I can tell she is in accordance with the conceit of these things.
Try doing this at an actual Public Library and feel the Wrath of the Librarians.
I’m not “stomping” on anything. But. If people who were rich enough to have lawns in cities started turning their lawns into “community gardens” where only their rich friends could do stuff, but pretending that it was open to everyone, then started erecting monuments to their own generosity. Then I wouldn’t shame anyone for stomping those gardens.
I guess I just don’t think rich people who own the nicest properties in town should be the ones to dictate what gets shared and with whom.
Do you think little libraries are only seen in rich suburbs? I think they’re just as common in middle class neighborhoods as well as in front of public schools, public parks, churches, and the start of hiking trails. Also, nobody’s preventing poor people from taking a book, it’s quite literally open to everyone
RHETORIC [Heroic: Failure] - Alright, here we go. We’re devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about communism. Scratch that, to coming up with the question about communism, the alpha and omega of communism questions, and that question is: “Are little libraries bourgeois?”
We have one in our neighborhood park that people maintain on their free time. You seem angry and I don’t think it’s about little free libraries, so what are you actually angry about?
The library isn’t the be all and end all of information dissemination. Are libraries good places that should be protected? Yes. Can they also be co-opted and engage in censorship and exclusion? Yes.

You must be fun at parties.
God forbid anyone would put something out that says “we are a community, here is something we can share together”
Do you go around stomping community gardens too?

That’s a moronic way to look at the world and will get you nowhere. Period.
Isnt this literally the “WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS WITH NO PROFIT INCENTIVE” meme
I don’t know what your deal is. Our little free library is in our neighborhood public park next to our community garden, in the same PUBLIC PARK.
I don’t live in the suburbs so I don’t know what to tell you

what does
mean
If you’re going to dodge the question, why bother responding at all
You know those little libraries allow you to also place books in it rather than just take. Fill it with communist and anarchist literature.
Just like the lady in the OP fills it with bible stuff.
What is this post even about
