As a historian of Jodrell Bank, I agree! And the reason it is important is that it has been made to mean different things to different people at different times. Who's up for a mega thread on how and why? (I'm off for lunch now, but I'll do it after. I'll need the energy...)
Libraries in schools are obvs v good but you also need to pay for staff. My (state comprehensive) secondary school had an excellent library, with dedicated staff. My children's local secondary has a decent library but it's rarely accessible for reading or borrowing because... no money for staff.

Indeed. That is the single most urgent generational issue. Social care might be theoretically great in 100 years but it won't matter much if everything else, notably food security, has fallen apart.
