that cares is under attack. They are planning to suppress that 80% of the population and in the new right's dreams the 80% are forced into hiding when doing kind things. It is disgusting.

The Central Library of Brooklyn across from Grand Army Plaza is a a very nice building with great detailing, also in the very big lobby (where they've hosted artists' work), and mezzanine.
They redid the outdoor plaza really nicely, too while I lived there in the 00's (as opposed to other borroughs).

Several decades ago, when I lived in Phoenix and had small children needing occasional babysitting, I'd hire local kids. I always asked them if they had a library card, and if the answer was no, took them immediately to the local library and got them signed up. And I also signed the permission to check out any and all adult books.

I didn't bother to ask the parents, just took the kid to the library and signed them up.
