>retards cant even read
>Muslims only read the Quran
I chill out at the library at least once a week to read some books that I wouldn't want to by, the only people I see are:
>Highschool kids doing homework
>Thirty year old - sixty year old white men
>Older women
There's the occasional robot/incel that bottle up his face grease in a milk jug and weigh 399+ in the comic book section but that's about it. I see no point in having a bunch of posters of brown kids hung everywhere.
