A community I lived in for a while didn't have access to a public library,
because the majority (but not an overwhelming majority -- something like
60%) of the people who lived there didn't want to pay the few cents in taxes
to join the regional library program. And it wasn't because they were
building a privately-held public library of their own.
I would submit that universal education and access to libraries (whether or
not a right) are good things. I'm not convinced that this would happen in a
purely free capitalist system.
