At issue is about $22,000 in state funding. Since the showdown began, the library has raised more than $100,000 in community donations.

That's how you do it!

Please remember to go to your local library board meetings when possible. Libraries need our vocal support. The crazy fuckers go. You need to be there to shut them down.

Only fascist regimes ban books.

I'd say if the library starts banning books start pirating those books and share them.

I think this book and the TV series should be mandatory reading / viewing alongside 1984.

The board also discussed a new code change that expands on what is inappropriate. This will include any books that feature positive portrayals of transgender characters. Library director Kelyn Ralya estimated the change to take effect on Feb. 14.

Fucking scumbags

Wow. This is my hometown, and I'm proud they are willing to stand their ground. The librarian in the children section that I used to frequent was wonderful, but I'm sure she passed away a while ago.

It's like they are ashamed of what they are doing or something. Lol

I'm glad I have my signed (by Margaret Atwood) copy to share with friends and family

Hope something similar doesn't happen to my local library. Probably will though.
