If you don’t mean “Library” then don’t use the word “Library”. A Community center with free wi-fi and people to help you learn to use the internet is not a library. If that’s what you want funding for ask for that. Not for money for libraries. Do you have any proof lots of people don’t hear “funding for libraries” and think “why would anyone need money for a building of books in 2013”?
When people here “Record Shop” I believe they don’t expect a room full of computers with internet a people to help you find mp3s. They expect Records, tapes, cds and video for purchase.
