Libraries are highly dependent on the town you're in. Ours is open six (6) hours a week. The one in. The town we were renting in before we bought was open reasonable hours and the librarians were great.
It can be exceedingly difficult to fund and staff a library system, especially considering that libraries are no longer big rooms with moldy books on the shelves.
Libraries are high-tech and high-maintenance. If the community prioritizes their mission and invests in them, it works out. Sometimes, not so good.
