Why do people speak online as if the library is a place anyone goes to? I understand some people still go to libraries, but this cannot be considered a commonplace activity like it once was. Librarians do not hold any meaningful position in society because so few people come in contact with them.

Do you have kids? Virtually every parent I know (myself included) visits the library at least once a week with their kid. In my community the library is very well trafficked.

Kind of the point of the post, isn't it?
