It seems to work for everyone in my neighborhood. Homeless, wealthy, children, young and old all using the local library. They have work training programs and children’s programs.

where is this if i may ask?
Logan Square in Chicago. Chicago is known for having an excellent library system. A couple examples; all the major museums have passes at each library that can be "checked out" for free entry [1], Harold Washington Library has a Maker Lab with 3D printers, design software and laser and electronic cutters [2], there is a program called YOUmedia where some libraries have full sound editing equipment (Chance the Rapper used this to make his first mixtape) [3]. I can also get any book delivered to my local library for pickup through the CPL phone app.
