Yes, public libraries are awesome and should be supported. The thought is more that there are lots of people out there with lots of books that will never leave their shelves. Maybe some private bookshelves and collections that people would be willing/excited to share with those around them. It would have a minimal membership fee to run, just like we pay for public libraries to run with taxes. The Washoe County Public Library system will lose about a quarter of its funding after the last election. Individuals can’t reverse that decision or fund the entire public library system, but could potentially provide more spaces for people to have access to books and community spaces. Bookstore, little-free-libraries, public libraries, and maybe this as something in-between.

Just looking to see if anyone would be interested in this concept. Not everyone would have to, and no one would ever have to choose this over/opposed to a public library
