"the library's mission is to educate, not entertain"

I find this very amusing and can just see the pursed lips and the long twitching nose as this is declaimed like word from heaven. Silly twit! I am entertained by education. Does that negate the entire idea? Must education be bleak and grey in a world of technicolor temptations? This sounds like a person who does not love learning. Bah! Ignore ae.
