Used for flavouring in baking and cooking, for which it’s fine. As a drink, it’s vile.Libraries.
This is for books that are generally available and not reference libraries.
It might just be my experience but they have died in my world. It used to be that my father and I would visit every week and switch out a stack of books. With electronic versions taking over I feel the library has had its time.
I visited one today and it’s the closesest to communism I’ve been recently. Why? They are almost all state funded outlets for approved literature.
They also have well meaning people trying to convince me I need to rent a VHS on Benjamin Franklin. In time lines, the VHS is closer to Franklin than it is to me.

They were slashed as part of the austerity drive by the 2010 govt, loads of librarians laid off and replaced (if you're lucky) by volunteers. Many simply closed. This is from 2016, it's not getting any better-This is for books that are generally available and not reference libraries.

I wonder if the Carnegie libraries have been spared? IIRC, part of the deal was that the council would provide the funds to run them and Carnegie would build it.
