7. Ultimately it has nothing to do with books. Republicans don't want public money going to libraries

The books they site are just an excuse. It's too bad, local libraries provide more than just books to their communities. They offer computer and internet access, adult education that assist with basic skills such as resume writing, programs for kids and adults, tutoring, certified notaries and more.

But the books...for me growing up, even now as an adult, there is nothing better than wondering the aisles and aisles of books waiting for something to catch my eye. It's pure delight.

But as we all know, Republicans want to stamp out delight in all its many forms.
