The fact that libraries are not full of people doesn't negate their function. A hard drive doesn't need to be continually read and written to serve its purpose either.

Is this what I said or even implied?


but nobody goes there.

Yes. You're implying libraries need to be full of people reading books all the time, when their main purpose is to store them.


Ah I see, then indeed we disagree about the point of a library. You see it as storage, I see it as a place for object, I see it as a place for people to meet, with the "excuse" o objects or via objects (e.g. books).
