Agree ATL hits many of these, but we are a glaring failure when it comes to public libraries. Our public libraries are small and tucked deep within neighborhoods, which is great for the neighborhoods, but not for those who don’t live in them. Larger libraries like the Downtown branch aren’t conducive to what you’re probably looking for in a public library; it’s loud, busy, not much library-ing actually happening. The library at Georgia State is lovely, but you’ve got to have some affiliation with the school or university system to access.

The DMV area libraries are weirdly not that great. You'd think being home of the Library of Congress there would be a more entrenched library culture in DC, but I've been underwhelmed with the collections available.

San Francisco (like the rationalists. I get that the receding hippie influence and people into crystals and vibes sort of undermines this entry but I think it still holds)
