Or maybe you could just use your library? This is a cute cartoon or whatever, but it's not good advice. If u wanna save libraries, people have to use them

Every time I see a vape shop now, I shall imagine it's a library in disguise.

If you put "tactical" in front of libraries fuding will be unending.

Here's a favorite example of the first frame, community support (and, in a way, an example of the last, too): The Ferguson Public Library during the protests. It won Library of the Year in 2015 for its efforts. Big kudos to then director Scott Bonner.
