I love libraries and the huge benefit to society (especially low income individuals) libraries provide, but my biggest frustration is the lack of spaces to take video calls (personal or work) and the early hours they close. It would be nice for libraries to be available past 6pm for those that work a regular 9-5.

For example, to my knowledge, there's not a single place reasonably convenient in NY Bryant Park library or Stavros Foundation library where I can take video calls. In more suburban cities I frequent, the hours are often 9-5 with a Sunday operating 1-5pm.

It also frustrates me so much that coffee shops (establishments expecting purchases to stay) function more conveniently than libraries as a place I can sit down and work.
