Churches are highly visible, placed in locations where they can be seen.
Libraries are not.
I hope this has been educational.
Edit: So not being from the area, and have never been to either of the carolinas, I clicked Charlotte NC on google maps, because it's a big city, then typed libraries in the search and hit enter. There are 14 in the city, and 4 in surrounding suburbs.
18 in one half hour drive area. Not too many rural, obviously, but let's try that in a more rural area.
I next clicked Hendersonville NC. Sort of eyeballing a halfway-ish point between Charlotte NC and Knoxville TN. There are 10 libraries. But one is one of those little lending libraries people can pop up on their front lawn, so 9 plus 1.
Do I have to keep going? Is that not enough? I mean, this is a pretty shitty take to begin with. Especially when you're running for some sort of office in north carolina. "Y'all are dumb because libraries don't exist, but churches do."
