If people think hard enough and coordinate between public and private agencies, solutions can be easily found to overcome any obstacles that pop up.

This is assuming the school actually has a library or a librarian, let alone wifi. In Pennsylvania schools are not required to have a library, so in places like Philadelphia where money is beyond tight there are few libraries.
