From a public perspective, libraries probably are making good choices. From my personal, selfish perspective, they’re not. Does that clear things up?
Also, I have noticed going to libraries results in sampling from a different distribution of books. The boredom forcing me to read stuff I usually wouldn’t is a part of it, as is the fact I’m not self-selecting into niche scenes which recommend a narrow slice of books.

It does! Questions (for my taste) then a bit the wording of the title (as well as potentially the case for the frontpage classification as opposed to personal blogpost, though of course that’d not be your ‘fault’)
that’s why I added it as addendum in parenthesis and with the explicit “though of course that’d not be your ‘fault’”—I mentioned this as answer in part for the public/LW as a whole.

I thought whether a post is personal or goes onto the front page was up to the mods.
