>> Huh, libraries are anything but useless and in fact their usage, in general, is going up not down. They provide computers and printers to those that can't afford them, and that is a big subset of the population. You frankly can't function very well in today's world without access to a computer. Some are even putting in 3D printers... if each library unlocks the potential in a handfull of people they are worth the money.

You can provide computers to everyone who uses one at the library for a fraction of the cost of keeping the library open.
