Hmm. It looks like her real complaint is the idea of paying taxes, and particularly the idea of getting what she wants by having other people help pay for it. She doesn't seem to have any problem getting what she needs from the government, but she doesn't need books the way she needs roads, water, or electricity.
There is a brief mention of the "insidious influences lurking on their shelves," but that doesn't seem to be her primary point. I don't particularly agree with her - discussing books I'd read with my mother was a good introduction to critical thinking - but I can see her point.
