It's baloney. Powell books was open and hiring staff to handle online orders. And if you must, there was also Amazon.

A book store is not a library. We taxpayers have already paid for libraries.

Well, taxpayers have paid for certain libraries, which have mostly been closed. If you want to get what you've paid for, you should probably talk to your municipal, state, and perhaps federal representatives.
The fact that you paid one entity for a service (which they are not providing,) does not entitle you to collect it from another entity.

I never said anything about being entitled to anything, please don't put words in my mouth. I'm just pointing out something that should be obvious - a bookstore isn't a library. And telling people who have already paid their taxes to go use a bookstore is offensive.
