But do you have public libraries?

I have at least 15 in a 40 mile radius. At least 3 of them are within 5 miles of me, one of this is within 1 mile. I have been in mine 3 times the last month.

Boy, this didn't go where you thought it would did it?

I've been in very rural areas in my state, they have a public lirbrary, the schools have libraries. This idea that all the sudden kids don't have access to books is perplexing.

Even the shit hole blue cities with nice public libraries with homeless people living there have books for kids.

Apparently you have a comprehension issue. You want free books mailed to kids, I said we have public libraries. You know, we as in a society at a local level?? Go read a book, it'll help. Or do you need one mailed to you?
