You have to like a song called ‘Neighbors’ just for its name. Luckily this one goes beyond obligation and serves up some sweet folk-pop that you won’t want to put down. The twin singers of Lucius (not actually twins but they are quite vocally similar, and they always dress alike) ease their way through the lyrics like they’re a conversation, and you hear every word: “I always lock the door, ’cause you never know for sure / Who your neighbors really are, real suspicious.” That line morphs as it repeats through the song’s build and the ladies split into their signature harmonies. It’s like country updated to be acceptable to modern city dwellers. But what is this song actually about? (Please venture a guess.)

In this week’s edition, meet Panos Mourdoukoutas, who argued in Forbes that we should close all public libraries and replace them with Amazon stores, because he already has to pay taxes on libraries and, given the choice, he’d prefer that his money benefit only him rather than him *and* the public. Forbes took the article down (though shame on them for paying him for it in the first place), and in its place I’d like to remind you of some of the great things public libraries do: they offer books, movies, and music for free; they provide free English courses to immigrants in their own neighborhoods, and job training to the underserved; through kids’ programs, they even provide childcare and community. Unless Bezos comes to babysit, pretty sure that’s not what Amazon is for.

Turns out public libraries are also starting to hold free fitness classes (led by librarians!). Like, a lot of them. In 2014 60% of North Carolina libraries said they offered fitness programs, and 37% of national libraries in a survey said they offered yoga. Turns out ClassPass is not the solution for everyone (jk we knew that), and ‘free’ really matters. Also btw, some libraries are adding programs to share information on nutrition and accessing healthcare. To, you know, serve the community. (Question remains: who is serving Panos Mourdoukoutas?)

In case you missed it, NY public libraries are now granting library card holders free access to a whole bunch of the city’s museums– for learning, and for serving the economically diverse community. Here’s a roundup I wrote of all the participating museums and what they’re about.
