There Is A Constant Battle Within Public Libraries Between Our Core Values of Belief In Freedom of Expression and Belief in Diversity/Inclusion

Posted without further comment. (Er, other than to say you can fast forward to the end to see the conflict of those values in action…) (h/t to concerned community member who sent this to me. It’s actually senior RPL managers speaking off-camera at the end, not RPL security guards.)

Secular Sunday – “Indiana public librarians forced to remove half the books in the teen section as demanded by unelected library board including a pro-book banning pastor”

Just as we watched drug poisonings and Narcan training spread across American libraries before becoming more common in Canada, I suspect religiously-motivated book banning requests (and religious board members being even more activist in trying to direct library’s directions, not just individual books) is the next thing American libraries will export to Canada.
