ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, with which I could not disagree more.
ReplyDeleteA subsidy is where A gives B money to reduce the apparent cost of a what would otherwise be a private transaction between B and C, usually in order to make B more profitable.
The public which built and pays for the operation of the library (A) is the same public that is welcome to come and enjoy this event, which is being offered to the public for free. There's no B or C in a deal where the public uses publicly owned resources to education to the public.
