Libraries used to be wonderful places. They used to be comforting quiet places full of books and people who love books and learning. Now libraries are noisy. Now libraries are full of homeless people. Now libraries are full of computer terminals and foreigners surfing the Internet for God knows what. Now libraries are staffed by employees that hate all their patrons. Now libraries push political agendas.

I used to go to the library in Miami Beach. They had removed the card catalogs. In order to look up a book, you have to use a monitor and keyboard to search digitally. That was fine. Although I miss the card catalog. A few years later I went back and I went to the monitor and began looking for a book. A young 20-year-old librarian came up to me and began screaming. She told me I can't use a monitor. She told me I had to put my name on a waiting list. I told her I was looking for a book. It was like I was speaking in a foreign language. I repeated myself that I was looking for a book. She didn't believe me. Finally, she looked at the computer screen and saw me deep inside the Dewey decimal system and that I was not surfing the Internet and told me I wasn't allowed to use the monitor. I asked her how was I supposed to find a book if they didn't have the card catalog anymore and I could use the monitor. She said I had to ask someone. Most of the time when I went to the library there were apparently homeless people getting into fights with security guards and students having loud conversations about their day in school. I might as well have been in a bus terminal.

When I went to a bookcase that was showing all of the latest newest books the library had received they prominently displayed 10 or 12 anti-Trump books. There were no pro-trump books They were also pretty heavy on the open borders pro-immigration invasion agenda. There really isn't anything relatable or comforting or helpful in the libraries anymore. I guess a person could find some DVDs to play but the old libraries are gone.

I remember a wonderful library in North Miami that had old magazines that were bound like books and an entire section of the library. You could look up popular mechanics or scientific American magazines from the 1950s without having to ask anyone. I could spend days looking at the old magazines. Now they're all gone. Little by little everything that was good and wonderful from my youth has been erased and replaced. I am not sure how much worse a Marxist lesbian library will be.
