The Library is a true public resource that seeks to democratize knowledge across the entire population...the Library sees more than 5M annual visits. Opposite of popular assumptions, Library visits are actually increasing despite the reduction in physical book distribution.
I would rather see my funds going to a Library than a private sports facility that costs me hundreds to enter. I love the Flames but don't see how this funding can be justified from the public purse.
