The public has always paid for the arts and the learning content therein. Of course, this isn’t limited to the first recorded moving pictures, records, and other developments in the last century. The first bound books were reserved for the very wealthy. The printing press and the spread of public libraries saw the democratization of reading. Public libraries are a hallmark of educated and literate societies. Libraries, though endangered, continue to offer a world of learning content to the public, offering a range of materials to anyone with a library card. This includes learning content in the form of books and audiobooks, newspapers, DVDs and VHS, CDs, educational materials, computer software, and internet access. Additionally, many provide services like space for community meetings, storytelling for children and babies, and after-school programs.
