I can see it now—kids waiting for an adult to walk by so they can beg the adult to get them a book, like they do to get alcohol at a 7-Eleven.

Yes, and a bunch of entities (businesses, banks, pension funds, not-for-profits, sports teams, schools and churches, ...) are staying silent... as if by staying silent they will risk nothing and everything will turn out okay...

It must have been thrilling for Mitch’s GOP, riding that tiger of stupidity and ignorant rage to political power. I can only imagine Mitch’s gratified feeling as the tiger shits him out.

"We are the only Library in Valley County that does not have an attorney on retainer" I honestly didn't know it was that bad :-(

"If [libraries] do not comply, those parents or guardians can receive $250 in statutory damages, alongside other financial relief for damages." File a complaint about library books, win cash prizes! - Sweet Sunday Jesus - Monetize everything, ruin society.

It's also a part of a larger plan to destroy public spaces and public institutions as a whole. It's not just about libraries or access to information, although that is a big part of it.

A friend of mine served on the Kootenai County library board (north Idaho) for years. Then the extremists got control of the KCGOP and went after her in last year's election, calling her a groomer providing porn to kids. My friend lost and not a single change has been made to the library in a year.

I spent my teenage years under a military dictatorship in Argentina and when I came to the US in 1985 I thought all of that was behind me forever. This turn of events is absolutely nuts.
