No. No no no no no no no. This is the worst idea I've ever seen in my life.

"church owned"
"public access" (so not public)

And let me guess, the books on science and anatomy will be in private men's only club libraries?

Why do these people want to live in the 1890s??

Why are they trying to destroy public libraries in the US?
To paraphrase Brother Mouzone from The Wire:
“You know what the most dangerous thing in America is, right?
A person with a library card.”

@frasca @futurebird To a degree that’s been supplanted by access to the Internet. Another thing they try to stop from being available to everyone. Their answer to that is a flood of miss information to make accessed information digitally problematic.

@frankboon @Pineywoozle @futurebird The same players going after The Internet Archive are also going after public library's ebook lending.

Indeed, they are.
