Absolutely.
Sadly our village hasn't even got a library, we have to go to the nearest city, 7km to library with poor & expensive bus service. The most important aspects of a library are educational support via books. literacy support via books. Not so much video as that's accessible even to the poor and not video games.
There are many households where there are big TV screens and game consoles. Even very poor often have a TV and multichannel PayTV. A supermarket video can be half the price of a book. Many houses have no books at all. Not just the poor.
Totally agree it's a waste of money (the tax payer here) if a library has non-educational, non-cultural items and spends on garden tools or other so-called "library of things".
