And it does make a difference if you have one five minutes away, and you have to go a half hour for one.

One of the libraries I belong to, but rarely use, shut down two branches last year due to budget cuts. Then they turned around and spent money on a new state-of-the-art digital lab for their main branch. That branch is more than five minutes away for the vast majority of the patrons who would use this new service.
Personally, this is the kind of thing I favor, but it irritated quite a few people.
