I'm tired of people shitting on public libraries

Just because one fracking library decided to have some drag queer woman come in as a guest to read a book to a kid. No actual drag show happened either.

I became a librarian during the Ronald Reagan years after visiting my first visit to the national archives in DC. I swore an oath to uphold the pursue of intellectual freedom as told in the constitution and bill of rights. I did not want our country to become like North Korea or USSR where one line of thought is accepted left-wing or right-wing.

Like, Libraries that are supported by their state government are crucial in promoting open, free access to information. The First Amendment and intellectual freedom are protected by libraries, according to the Library Bill of Rights, which was established by the American Library Association in 1948.


Public librarians and state and municipal government bodies establish and carry out library policy as representatives of the state in accordance with the Tenth Amendment's acknowledgement of state authority to safeguard the welfare, health, and morals of its population.
Choosing what materials to add to the collection, creating rules for using the library's Internet, and safeguarding patron privacy are all part of setting library policy.

Now, idiots in congress at a local level here in Georgia are threatening to cut our pay in half for no reason?? Part time jobs are going unfilled because politics.

People would rather watch stupid tik tok videos than get a book from a library. Is this what you want our society to become??
