Thinking about public libraries.

Back in the late 19th century and early 20th century, they were a cornerstone of philanthropy. They were part of a noble project to uplift the masses by giving them access to books they couldn’t afford.

But that solves a problem we don’t really

The statement 'Internet connectivity' in response to a discussion about the historical role of public libraries suggests a modern parallel to the access to information that libraries provided. It implies that internet access is a contemporary necessity for public upliftment, similar to how books were in the past. This engages with public discourse on the role of libraries and access to information in society.
