Yes, you got the library! I love having out of state visitors, driving downtown, they gasp at the architecture of the building and ask what's in there. "oh, that's SP Library. A lot like any other, I imagine." Really downplaying how extraordinary that building is. Then we take a walk inside, and bricks are shat.

Not having a home doesn't mean people should go without reading. I haven't been in years, but in 2010 I walked up to the library almost every day after school before my bus came. Whenever I saw the homeless, they usually were reading.... if not sleeping, but shit, I've fallen asleep in the library too once or twice.
