Is this a librarian chastising you or, on your next visit, telling you that the reference book you’d checked out had been shown to be a work of fiction and recataloged under conspiracy theories? Libraries have plenty of books with inaccuracies and they haven’t contributed to the downfall of popular discourse.

because one has to actively seek out information in a library. Are you aware of any libraries that send out propaganda pamphlets to tens of millions of people? Because that actually has caused the downfall of societies
