I made this a “climate action individual” post because a “library economy” is made of individual actions - borrowing a tool instead of buying one, sharing your books with the neighborhood, etc. Bottom up instead of top down.
Once communities realize scarcity isn’t an issue, the initial rush tends to subside and it becomes sustainable. That’s generally just the initial capitalist trauma panic. People become way more relaxed and selective and in turn start to donate and engage when they can.
