Is it unlikely or do boomers just not get that libraries fucking rule? Where else am I going to have a goth hand me a book about woodworking, 5 novels, and my tax forms before telling me how to register to vote all for free?

Seriously, im currently listening to an audiobook for free, legally, with the author getting compensated. And all I have to do is wait for it and pay my fair share of taxes to ensure this resource continues to exist for everyone.

I don't know about anyone else, but this boomer basically grew up in libraries. The local village's library is one of the more popular places in town for pretty much everyone of all ages.
