Public libraries seem to always be terrible. It's one thing to lack the really obscure stuff, but the classics? Surely a public library should at least have those.
I was always extremely happy about the fact that I had access to two university libraries here, which actually meant something. Now both are closed by order of the province, and one is fighting to stay closed. The only reason the other isn't is, once again, because of Quebec: they issued an order declaring libraries an essential service and forbidding them from closing. So now, the bilingual university here is unwilling to fight to remain closed, because they need to be able to recruit Francophone students.
