Today's GOP is the American Taliban.
The Taliban forbid girls to go to school. Conservatives the world over apparently believe that women are nothing more than incubators.
People in Afghanistan under Taliban rule would hide radios in the dirt underneath their homes. If the “Morality Police" caught them listening to decadent, corrupting Western music there'd be hell to pay. Gotta keep 'em living in the 11th century.
As the late great writer Ray Bradbury once said, “You don't need to burn books to destroy a civilization; just get people to stop reading them.” He also said that in the event of a total societal catastrophe, libraries would be more valuable than hospitals to rebuild civilization. Due to all of the wisdom contained inside their walls.
That's why conservatives don't like libraries. Books make you think; therefore you're more likely to be a liberal.
