Books that include gay characters are too scandalous for libraries, but a President who cheats on his wife with a porn start and illegally pays to cover it up? That's totally fine. Nothing to see here, folks. A witch-hunt, really. 🙄
Par for the course. Alabama's motto "we dare defend out rights" in practice applies only to the state's right to attack public services, the commons and citizens.

@USAFamily_1st @jaimeswill33602 @readfreelyAL Re: "adult section" is most likely talking about public libraries. It's usually pretty easy to get this stat from public libraries statewide, since many have a consolidated catalog. (Some schools also have an adult section for teachers, so your argument sucks either way.)
I told my kids that a Tutankhamun exhibition was coming to DC and they all started whooping with delight. The two-year-old was rubbing his hands together like Santa was coming back early. Nerds, I'm raising a bunch of nerds.
wild library stuff via @EveryLibrary al.com/news/2024/03/w…
I dislike having my books banned (and mischaracterized by folks who haven't read them), but what I really dislike is when hard-working and deeply committed librarians are fired for no good reason by vindictive, unprofessional culture warriors who care nothing for actual kids.
Why was this Alabama library director fired? I got an answer from the library board director. And then another, and another ... You just have to read it. al.com/news/2024/03/w…

@readfreelyAL is Alabama headed back in time? Will “The Rabbits’ Wedding” be targeted because it implies sex and sex between a black male rabbit and a female white rabbit? #bookban
Andrew Foster, the director of my hometown’s public library who was fired last week amid a book fight, says his job was politicized. “Absolutely. And that’s unfortunately happening at libraries all over the state and all over the nation.”
Sentiment of the majority of people here at the Trussville Library Board meeting! Thanks to @readfreelyAL and others for getting the word out.
And then they fired the library employees who closed the library as a show of support for the director. But this is not just your hometown of Prattville, AL @kaitlancollins, this is the kind of stuff we are seeing across Alabama, a state where pandering Republican officeholders…
