Concern was raised to Mayor Mark Blankenship from different citizens finding books with LGBTQ+ characters and sexually suggestive content in the section.
Social media post and text messages from Mayor Blankenship were made discussing the library potentially losing funding and getting these books out of the library completely.
That being said, library vice-chairman Mike Cairns ensured no books would be removed from the collection, but may be moved to a new section.Many differing opinions were expressed at the podium throughout the meeting.“I say, let’s put the books in the adult section,” said one resident. “The adults can check them out and they can give them to whoever they want.”
“We should not try to keep our kids from learning about other people,” said another citizen. “This is what makes them accept other people.” “If you think your child is not mature enough for the young adult section, keep them in the children’s,” said another citizen.
