Mrs. Plony – if you don’t think that there is any problem with libraries to start with, it probably won’t change your mind. But if you already realize that there are things in the library that are problematic but you feel that you need to use it, this might make you think twice about whether or not you really need to use it or need to use it as much.
Also, even if someone falls in the first category, if he is an open-minded person, he might stop and think, “Why is Rav Miller even thinking of comparing a library to a toilet? What is the similarity? Are there things in a library atmosphere that are problematic and might be better to avoid if possible?”
