Who think, fundamentally, libraries are a good thing?

Public libraries are a good thing. Ideally they should be apolitical, serving only to provide information, not opinions. It doesn't really bother me personally, but my local library definitely has a political agenda, that I see could put some people off. This is shown by what activities they sponsor and what books and films they highlight. Libraries should be depositories of information, not vehicles of social preferences.

I see what you are saying, but giving only information on one side of an issue or only highlighting information about certain issues and not others; then "information" becomes a "vehicle of social preference". That's why I can see why some people may get upset with the library.
