I wonder 🤔 If public libraries were made private, how much would they need to charge for monthly memberships, at thier current user base, in order to stay afloat and turn a profit? And how much of this user base would immediately unsubscribe, forcing them to raise prices?
How many would completely disappear or go 100% digital within a decade?
I'm not trying to be cynical here or say that libraries should be govt funded at all. I think everything should be privately owned. Just pondering some shower thoughts I had.
