If you were to survey people in a place where the library mainly serves as shelter for people without homes, you would conclude that the most important thing is that, and there's no point maintaining collections of books.

If you believe that public libraries serve some purpose, you have to start with that, rather than just using gradient descent to get to somewhere. Otherwise why wouldn't libraries evolve into hospitals, or podcast studios, or brothels?
