A librarian describes the institution of the library in an overtly political frame that is, well, not wrong. "When library workers open the door in the morning, they give the public access to public space. When library workers check out a book or check it back in, they circulate public resources... Library workers understand that we are on the front lines of the movement for public ownership of the public good." Via Robin DeRosa.
