Even though I don't really like reading books, I love the concept of public libraries, sometimes I just go there to hang out in the Café to eat cake, drink coffee and enjoy the surroundings. We don't think about that often but public libraries offer a lot more than just books. I also just listened to a episode of the This American Life episode about libraries which they describe like this: "Libraries aren't just for books. They're often spaces that transform into what you need them to be: a classroom, a cyber café, a place to find answers, a quiet spot to be alone. It's actually kind of magical." https://www.thisamericanlife.org/664/the-room-of-requirement
