Libraries are usually in the center of a town. I doubt this shithead drove through town centers. It's just Yankee trash continuing it's abuse of southerners.
Yeah. It will keep on happening until the South forms it's own nation. There is no one more discriminated against than a Straight White Male Southerner.
I know for a fact that this guy actually saw libraries if he was on I-40 between Knoxville and Ashville. In Knoxville alone there are about three of them visible from I-40 if you know what you are looking at. But you can't tell a Library from any other building just by looking at it, whereas a church's structure gives it away. Nearly every incorporated town in Tennessee has a library. Even little one street towns.
Edit: For the hell of it, I decided to determine the number of public libraries per capita for both TN and NYC:
Tennessee has 293 public libraries serving 7,126,489 people for a per capita of 1 per 24k
NYC has 92, 61, and 62 public libraries across the NYC, Brooklyn and Queens Library systems serving 23.6 million people for a per capita of 1 per 109k.
Yeah, it's the yankees that don't have enough libraries.
True story, I found out the library in downtown Seattle is the weird looking building across the street from the small skatepark. I never knew until I moved.
Libraries are shared resource centers that benefit from scaling when pooling resources in a single location. Churches are community focused and have significantly lower capital benefits from pooling resources in a single location and higher benefits from easy accessibility.
Midwits that don't understand the first thing about town planning are trying to dunk on rural areas for having perfectly reasonable low population density infrastructure. Standard smug lefty shit.
Throw in free internet access, and you also run into the issue of people (see bums, teenagers, and degenerates) consuming or attempting to consume porn in public.
Rumor has that in the largest public library where I live, the staff are less concerned with stocking books and more with policing the behavior of the homeless that are taking advantage of the "...free indoor space with AC/heat."
I cannot verify the behavior part, though the last time I was there, the place reeked of unwashed human with the unhoused taking up most of the benches and chairs with not a book to be seen.
This is the effect of the ALA pushing the idea for about two decades that libraries just need to change with the times and stay heckin' valid in the modern climate, man. Old school libraries still see traffic, and still have a function (protip dangerhair MLIS holders: it's those icky things full of paper on your shelves).

Sounds like there’s too many Yankees.
Would be nice if you could give this as an answer to his post.
He basically made it so that only ppl he mentions can reply after getting too many people telling him he's a moron
And you have to dox yourself with a phone number in order to get a community note.

Yeah even the shit hole towns down here tend to have libraries
Yeah, even the most podunk of towns tend to have a cute little community library if they have any semblance of a Main Street whatsoever.
