The library board “fired the library director for refusing to move or remove 113 books that they feel are ‘inappropriate.’ The rest of the staff did something heroic in solidarity with their colleague: they walked out, locked up the library, and said No to this unethical board action.”

One day, I'll write a book about how a librarian and a music teacher saved an 11 year old child's life.

This particular library board is composed entirely of appointees, and has zero oversight. No public statements from the town council will be made (per the council president).

To side track this just a skoosh - if you work in any aspect of librarianship, with what's going on, I strongly encourage you to join a union such as AFSCME to help protect yourself.

Not to be all gloom here but isn’t this also kinda part of the far right’s plan? Like they hate libraries and stuff in general so these kinds of things just serve to give them excuses not to rehire library staff and close them completely. It’s the effed up thing about this mess.

The concern we have here is that those who want to ban books now have a playbook for a shortcut to their ultimate goal, which has always been to shut down libraries completely.

Unfortunately, shuttering the library is just what the MAGAs want.

Good for them! Showing more bravery and morality than the cowards at Harvard who pressured Gay out.
